Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Rub salmon all over with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, then season with Italian seasoning.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown salmon on each side for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 4

Add broth to pan. Stir in pesto and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste (I'm quite generous with the salt and pepper here!).

Step 5

Return salmon to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the salmon.

Step 6

Transfer skillet to the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and sauce is thickened (enough to coat the back of a spoon).

Step 7

Spoon sauce over salmon and serve immediately. Enjoy!
