Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin off
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups baby spinach
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Optional: red pepper flakes, fresh basil
Instructions
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic; sauté for 1 minute.
Stir in cream, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 3–4 minutes).
Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Return salmon to the pan and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 2 more minutes to meld flavors.
Serve hot with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
