Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skinless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 3 cups Baby spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes to release their flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Toss in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. For a spicy kick, add the optional crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 8

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat. Let them warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
