Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each), skin-on
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the fish easily releases from the pan. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce slightly thickens, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
  7. Serve immediately with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
