You know those days when everything just feels off and nothing goes quite right Well, this dish came to life on one of those exact days because I had overcooked the Pan Pizza the night before so the sink was overflowing with dishes and I was seriously about to give in and order takeout when I suddenly spotted some salmon in the fridge which had been completely forgotten and honestly looked like it was judging me.

Creamy garlic salmon definitely wasn’t part of any plan yet I decided to go for it using whatever I could find so I grabbed some cream and a few garlic cloves and to my surprise it turned out way better than I ever expected since the sauce came out rich and velvety while the salmon got those delicious crispy edges and I might’ve even done a small happy dance in the kitchen.
