Gently pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet and place on a medium high heat on the stovetop.
Once hot, add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin side down. Cook the salmon on both sides til cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the pan and set aside.
Keep the skillet on the heat, and add in the butter, cream, salt and pepper, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice.
Bring to a simmer and then keep cooking, stirring occasionally til it thickens into a sauce.
Once you have a thicker consistency (5 to 10 minutes depending on the heat), stir in the fresh basil leaves.
Place the cooked salmon fillets back in the skillet and spoon over the sauce to warm through.
Serve with a sprinkle of black pepper and fresh basil leaves.
