This Whole30 Creamy Garlic Salmon is the perfect easy dinner, featuring salmon filets cooked to perfection in a creamy garlic sauce made with ghee, onion, garlic, chicken broth, and coconut milk.
1: Pat salmon filets dry with a paper towel. Season flesh side with salt and pepper.
2: Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and add salmon to skillet skin side down.
3: Pan sear salmon for 4-5 minutes. Gently flip salmon and sear on the flesh side for 2 minutes. Remove salmon from pan and let rest on a plate.
4: Reduce heat to medium, then immediately add remaining tablespoon of ghee and all of your whole garlic cloves. Saute cloves for 3-4 minutes, stirring around the pan occasionally to brown the outside.
5: Once garlic is slightly browned, add yellow onion to pan. Saute for 1-2 minutes, until translucent.
6: Next, add in chicken broth, lemon juice and fresh thyme. Stir and bring to a simmer, reducing the mixture by half.
7: Slowly add in coconut milk and stir until combined. Season with salt to taste.
8: Add salmon back to pan and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
9: Garnish with chopped parsley or basil and serve!
