Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets, skinless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, flesh side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2 minutes to slightly reduce.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the baby spinach and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir well until the spinach wilts and the cheese is fully incorporated into the sauce.

Step 8

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the salmon is heated through and infused with the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Pair with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
