Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic, red pepper flakes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, oregano, thyme, and paprika. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning some sauce over each fillet.
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

Use skin-on salmon if preferred; just sear skin-side down first.
Can substitute half-and-half for a lighter cream sauce.
Serve with pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
