4 filets salmon
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with olive oil.
- Season the salmon filets with salt and black pepper. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, stirring until fragrant.
- Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes smooth.
- Pour the Parmesan cream sauce evenly over the salmon filets in the baking dish.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until salmon is fully cooked.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving hot.
