Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup basil pesto
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Rub salmon all over with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, then season with Italian seasoning.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown salmon on each side for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Add broth to pan. Stir in pesto and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste (I'm quite generous with the salt and pepper here!).
  • Return salmon to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the salmon.
  • Transfer skillet to the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and sauce is thickened (enough to coat the back of a spoon).
  • Spoon sauce over salmon and serve immediately. Enjoy!
