Remove salmon from the skillet.

Add fresh spinach, and continue cooking and stirring until the spinach wilts, for a couple of minutes.

To the skillet with sautéed vegetables, add 1 cup of heavy cream and paprika. Bring to simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute, stirring. Season with salt. Add more paprika, if you like.

Assembly

Add cooked salmon to the skillet with the cream sauce.

Spoon the sauce over the salmon, and simmer for a minute or more, until the salmon is warmed up and cooked through. The salmon should be flaky.
