Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by chopping the garlic and slicing the sun-dried tomatoes.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, sear skin-side down for about 4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the salmon and set aside.
In the same skillet, add remaining butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in heavy cream while stirring gently.
Add fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to the bubbling sauce; cook until spinach wilts (about 2 minutes). Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Return seared salmon to skillet, spooning sauce over each fillet. Serve immediately or transfer to plates with extra sauce drizzled on top.
