  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Rub half of the spice mix over both sides.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Place salmon fillets skin-side up and sear for about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  5. Reduce heat to low, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken stock, then stir in heavy cream and remaining spice mix. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon sauce over them, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  8. Serve on plates, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
