Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and basil.
Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
Make the Sauce: Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Add Parmesan and stir until melted. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble & Bake: Place salmon in a baking dish. Pour the sauce evenly over the fillets. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.

Notes

For extra flavor: Sear the salmon skin-side down in a pan for 2–3 minutes before baking.

Add a little heat: Stir in ¼ tsp red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.

Make it dairy-free: Use coconut cream and a dairy-free Parmesan substitute.
