Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Rich in omega-3 fatty acids
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and helps to sear
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For enhanced flavor during searing
For the Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced, for the best flavor
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes Packed in oil
  • 1/2 cup Dry white wine Essential for deglazing
  • 1 cup Double cream Forms the creamy sauce

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet, add olive oil and butter, and sear salmon skin-side up for 6-7 minutes.
  2. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the dry white wine and deglaze the pan, allowing it to simmer and reduce by half (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, then gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add spinach to the sauce and return salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Simmer on low for 5 minutes.

Notes
