      • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
      • Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
    • Make the Creamy Sauce
      • In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
