Creating Salmon with Creamy Garlic Dijon Sauce is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a perfect meal:

1. Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Salmon: Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Dijon: Stir in the Dijon mustard and cook for another minute.
6. Mix in Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth (or white wine). Stir well to combine.
7. Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in lemon juice.
8. Return Salmon: Place the cooked salmon back into the pan and coat it with the creamy sauce. Heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
