Steps

1Season salmon
2Liberally season both sides of each salmon fillet with seasoning blend (see Notes).
3Sear salmon
4Add avocado oil to large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, place salmon fillets in skillet with skin-side down. Sear 4 minutes or until skin is golden and crisp.
5Flip fillets and cook skin-side up for 2 to 4 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. Transfer fillets to plate and return skillet to stove.
6Deglaze the pan
7Reduce heat to medium-low and pour 1 cup chicken broth into skillet. Deglaze pan, scraping up any browned bits that may be stuck to bottom. Simmer until liquid is reduced by 50%, then pour remaining liquid into medium bowl.
8Melt butter
9Return skillet to stove and increase heat to medium. Melt butter in skillet, then add minced garlic and sauté 30 to 60 seconds or until just fragrant.
10Add sauce ingredients
11Add in chopped roasted red peppers, fresh lemon juice, and heavy cream. Return reduced chicken broth to skillet and stir well. Bring liquid to boil and reduce until slightly thickened, approximately 3 minutes.
12Serve
13Remove skillet from heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan until cheese is fully incorporated. Return salmon fillets to skillet and spoon plenty of sauce over tops, then serve immediately with desired sides.
