Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. (The salmon doesn’t need to be fully cooked at this stage, as it will finish cooking in the sauce later.) Remove the salmon and set aside.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add onions, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, paprika and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to low, then stir in the fresh baby spinach and allow the sauce to simmer, until the spinach is wilted. Stir in salt, to taste, if desired. Place the salmon back into the pan and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet until the salmon is warmed through.
- The olive oil should lightly coat the bottom of the pan. It should cover the entire surface of the pan, but will be a thin layer, just enough to sear. You may need to add a little more oil, depending on the size of your pan.
- Add heat: You can add heat to the sauce by stirring in a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.
- Garnish: While this salmon dish looks impressive as is, you can garnish with fresh basil before serving, if desired.
