Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh salmon cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 to taste Salt & pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • As needed Flour for dredging
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach packed, use up to 2 cups
Optional Additions
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil sliced thin
  • As needed Freshly grated parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Prepare your salmon. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides of each piece, then dredge the salmon in flour.
  2. Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon. Cook the salmon for 3 to 4 minutes per side until it develops a nice crust. Do not overcook; the salmon should not be fully cooked yet. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside.
  3. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Allow the mixture to bubble for a couple of minutes.
  4. Stir in the cream and let it cook for a few more minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the spinach to the skillet. Let the spinach wilt for about 30 seconds, then return the salmon to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve the salmon topped with fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese, if you choose to use them.
