- Using paper towels, pat both sides of the salmon fillets dry; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side up, and cook until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 4-5 minutes. Using a fish turner, flip, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove and keep warm. Reduce heat to low; add garlic and shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in chicken stock and half and half until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:
- Heat butter and oil in a saucepan until the butter is melted.
- Add garlic to saucepan and stir until fragrant. I recommend using ready to use pre-diced garlic or garlic paste. If you don't have these then try to get your garlic as fine as possible.
- Add flour to garlic and butter mixture in saucepan and stir until fully incorporated.
- Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the saucepan and continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for approximately 10 minutes.
- Add about a teaspoon of salt, more or less to taste, then cover and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes.
- This sauce goes fantastic with pork chops and chicken breasts. Serve immediately over fully cooked chicken or pork chops.
CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE
This sauce is great on steak and chips. We have it a lot through the summer in Australia. Serve with a nice crisp salad makes a wonderful meal. Dried parsley may be used in place of the fresh.

Tips:
- Use fresh garlic. Fresh garlic has a more intense flavor than pre-minced or jarred garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder in place of each clove of garlic.
- Don't let the garlic burn. Garlic burns easily, so be careful not to overcook it. If the garlic starts to brown, remove the pan from the heat immediately.
- Use a good quality white wine. The white wine you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Let the sauce simmer. Once you've added all of the ingredients to the sauce, let it simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Garlic cream sauce is best served immediately. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
