Scale
- 3 salmon filets (about 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ white onion diced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add salmon and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the salmon and set aside.
- In the same pan, add onions, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Notes
Ensure the salmon is not overcrowded in the skillet for even cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor.
Serve over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
