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. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown; the salmon need not be fully cooked as it will finish cooking in the sauce later. Remove the salmon and set aside.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add diced onions, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in the heavy cream, freshly shredded parmesan cheese, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to low and add the fresh baby spinach, allowing the sauce to simmer until the spinach is wilted. Adjust salt to taste. Place the salmon back into the pan and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until cooked through.
Notes
For added flavor, you may use fresh herbs like basil or parsley as a garnish.
Serve over pasta or rice for a complete meal.
