Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until salmon is opaque throughout.

While salmon is baking, melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.

Pour in the wine and let cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just starting to reduce. Add in cream and cook until sauce thickens slightly.
