Ingredients
- 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. Add the salmon and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove the salmon and set it aside.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add onions, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to low and stir in the fresh baby spinach. Allow the sauce to simmer until the spinach is wilted.

Notes
To serve, scoop a generous portion of the creamy sauce over the salmon. Pairs well with pasta, rice, or a fresh green salad. Avoid overcooking the salmon to keep it tender.
