📝 Ingredients
-
4 salmon fillets (skin on or off)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tbsp butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup chicken or vegetable broth
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
½ tsp Italian seasoning

👩🍳 Instructions
-
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear salmon for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until soft and lightly browned.
-
Pour in broth and cream, then stir in Parmesan and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
