Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the salmon fillets. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until flaky. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Notes

For alternative proteins, consider substituting salmon with shrimp or grilled chicken. You can also use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter dish.
