1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish skin-side down.
Season the salmon fillets evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
