Ingredients
Scale
- 3 salmon filets (about 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ white onion diced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the salmon and set aside.
- In the same skillet, over medium heat, add diced onions, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and add fresh baby spinach, allowing the sauce to simmer until the spinach is wilted. Adjust the salt to taste.
- Return the salmon to the pan and simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the salmon in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for an hour before cooking.
Feel free to substitute other greens like kale or arugula instead of spinach for a different taste.
This dish pairs well with pasta or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
