Indulge your holiday guests with this luxurious Creamy Herb Garlic Salmon, featuring rich flavors and a velvety sauce that perfectly complements the tender salmon fillets. This elegant dish is sure to impress at any festive gathering, making it a standout addition to your Christmas menu.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ¼ cup chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions

  1. Season the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.

  2. Cook the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3 minutes. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, chopped thyme, dill, and parsley to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the sauce for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

  5. Simmer the Salmon: Return the salmon to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. Finish with Lemon: Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon just before serving to brighten the flavors.
