Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (skin‑on, 6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun‑dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add salmon fillets skin‑side down and sear for 3‑4 minutes until the skin is crisp.
- Flip the salmon, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for another 3 minutes until the fillets are just opaque.
- Remove salmon and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add sun‑dried tomatoes and spinach; cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in heavy cream and stir in grated Parmesan. Let the mixture simmer gently until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Return salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over each fillet, and sprinkle with fresh basil. Let everything heat together for 2 minutes. Serve hot.
