Ingredients
- 1 lb (500 grams) salmon fillets cut into 3 pieces
- salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil cut into pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or Italian basil
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a skillet over high heat and melt the butter. Pan-sear the salmon fillets, starting with the skin side down. Flip the salmon and continue to pan-sear until browned on the surface (the inside may not be fully cooked at this point). Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low in the skillet and add the garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Then add the cooking wine, heavy cream, and sun-dried tomatoes. Turn the heat to the lowest setting to let it simmer.
- Return the salmon to the skillet and season the sauce with salt and cayenne pepper.
- Add the spinach and lemon juice. Once the spinach wilts and the salmon is cooked through, turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped parsley (or Italian basil) and serve immediately.
