Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil for garnish optional

Instructions

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and red pepper flakes. Stir and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Add Cheese: Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
6. Combine: Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
7. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.
