# Instructions:

Brush the salmon with oil and sprinkle on the seasonings: Italian blend, garlic, salt, oregano, and both types of pepper.

Sear the seasoned sides in a preheated, oiled skillet. Keep it hot and cook for about three minutes each side until browned, then use a lower heat to finish it off.

Using the same pan, melt some butter and sauté the garlic. Stir in broth, cream, and lemon and let it cook gently for a couple minutes.
04 -
Whisk in your cream cheese, then the parmesan, and stir until the sauce thickens. Add a little more salt or pepper if needed.
05 -
Mix in the herbs, then lay the cooked salmon back in. Warm it up with the sauce before plating.
# Notes:
01 -
You can throw in some onions if you'd like to tweak the sauce.
02 -
Want it cheesier? Just toss in more parmesan.
