Ingredients
  

Salmon
  • 1 pound fresh salmon cut into 4 pieces
  • to taste Salt & pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • To dredge Flour
For Cooking
  • 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 see note
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach packed, use up to 2 cups
Optional Garnishes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil sliced thin
  • To taste 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. When hot, add the salmon. Cook the salmon for 3 to 4 minutes per side until it has a nice crust. Do not overcook; it 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. Let the mixture bubble for a couple of minutes.
  4. Stir in the cream and let it cook for a couple 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 add the salmon back into the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve the dish with basil and fresh parmesan cheese if you choose to use them.

Notes

The sun-dried tomatoes can be oil-packed or dry. If using oil-packed, drain them before adding them to the sauce. This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
