Canned salmon is more affordable and still nutritious.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

Add salmon to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook until golden, about 4-5 minutes.

Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine.

Reduce heat to low and add heavy cream, stirring until smooth.

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top.

Garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.
