Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden brown; flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add sun-dried tomatoes; stir to combine.
- Pour in heavy cream while scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Simmer for about two minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and dried herbs.
- Gradually fold in spinach, stirring until wilted. Return salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over each fillet, and warm through for an additional minute.
- Serve immediately with extra sauce drizzled on top.
