Ingredients

4 filets salmon

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup heavy cream

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic


Directions

1.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with olive oil.

2.

Season the salmon filets with salt and black pepper. Place them in the prepared baking dish.

3.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, stirring until fragrant.

4.

Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

5.

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes smooth.

6.

Pour the Parmesan cream sauce evenly over the salmon filets in the baking dish.

7.

Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until salmon is fully cooked.

8.

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving hot.
