For the Sauce:

2 tbsp unsalted butter

3-4 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/3 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 tsp dried basil (or Italian seasoning)

1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Salt & pepper, to taste

Step by Step:

1️⃣ Prep the Salmon:

Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.

Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Instructies

Cook the Salmon:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Sear the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked to your liking.

Remove and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt the butter.

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce slightly thickens.

Add Flavor:

Stir in chili flakes (if using), sun-dried tomatoes, and dried basil. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Combine & Finish:

Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted.

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spoon the creamy sauce over them, and let simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete, irresistible meal.

TIPS:

Use skin-on salmon for extra crispiness if preferred.

Substitute spinach with kale or arugula for a twist.

Pair with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce!
