Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  8. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread!

Notes

  • Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
  • Swap salmon with chicken breast or shrimp for a variation.
  • Add mushrooms for extra heartiness.
