Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin removed
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chicken broth and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon fillets dry before seasoning for better browning. Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Don't overcook the salmon – it should flake easily with a fork. For a thinner sauce, add a splash of additional chicken broth.
