  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep salmon by patting dry and seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.

  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sear salmon fillets skin-side down for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. In the same pan, sauté garlic until fragrant.

  4. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan. Simmer until slightly thickened.

  5. Add spinach and cook until wilted.

  6. Return salmon to pan and spoon sauce over fillets. Simmer for 2 minutes more.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and nutritional yeast.

  • Leftovers can be turned into a pasta dish the next day.

 

  • Don’t boil the cream; simmer gently to avoid curdling.
