Warm 2 Tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon to the skillet, skin side up, and cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove and keep warm on a plate.

Pour in the chicken broth, cream, and mustard. Stir until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.4. Pour in the chicken broth, cream, and mustard. Stir until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
