In a small bowl, combine dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Rub half of the seasoning mix onto both sides of the salmon fillets.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets flesh-side down and sear for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.

Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Optionally, add a splash of the sun-dried tomato oil. Sauté on low heat for 1-2 minutes.

Pour in the chicken stock and deglaze the bottom of the pan by scraping up any brown bits.

Raise heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Place the seared salmon back into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, depending on desired doneness.

Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
