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!
