Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) Salmon filets
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound Broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
