Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the salmon fillets skin-side up. Sear for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Pour in the white wine and reduce it by half, around 2 minutes.
Add heavy cream, stir, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add fresh herbs and adjust seasoning.
Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it, heating through for 2-3 minutes.
