• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillets

salt and pepper (to taste)

1 tbs olive oil

2 tbs butter

1 shallot (chopped)

4 large cloves garlic (minced)

1/3 cup dry white wine

6 oz fire roasted red peppers (chopped)

1 pint heavy cream

3 cups baby spinach

1/3 cup pecorino cheese (grated)

Directions

Pat your fish dry. Season them all over with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a large non stick skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin side up, and sear for about 4 minutes per side. Time will vary with size of fillets. Remove from pan when done to your preference.

Melt the butter in the same pan. Add the shallot and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

Add the wine to the pan and allow to reduce for a minute. Now add the peppers and cook for 1 -2 minutes. Next pour in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and allow the sauce to thicken while stirring occasionally - about 2 - 3 minutes.

Fold in the spinach until semi wilted and add the grated pecorino and mix until smooth and melted. Add the fish back in the pan and pour the sauce all over.
