Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a plate.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet (do not clean it to retain the flavor), add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

        Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine: Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce over each piece. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat the salmon through and let it absorb some flavor.

            Serve: Garnish the dish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve with a side of pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables to soak up the delicious sauce.
