Step-by-Step Instructions for Marry Me Salmon
  1. Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika if you like a hint of spice.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down first. Sear the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer gently for a minute. Gradually mix in the heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
  5. Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let the salmon simmer in the sauce for about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh basil or parsley over the top. Serve hot with a side of rice or pasta.
