Description

A delightful dish combining salmon with a creamy Parmesan sauce, fresh spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes – perfect for family dinners or special occasions.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a golden crust. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to cook until the sauce thickens.
  4. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
  5. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, allowing them to warm in the sauce for a couple of minutes.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Ensure your skillet is hot to achieve a nice crust on the salmon. You can adjust the sauce thickness by varying the amount of cream used.
