Instructions:
1. Prepare the Salmon:
Season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the Creamy Sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
3. Combine and Serve:
Add the salmon back to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top to coat.
Serve the salmon on plates with baby potatoes and steamed broccoli. Drizzle the sauce over the vegetables.
Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
