Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon skin-side up for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  5. Add spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Nestle the salmon fillets back into the sauce and spoon some sauce over the top.
  6. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until salmon is cooked through and sauce has thickened. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

Choose center-cut salmon fillets of even thickness for consistent cooking. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer before adding salmon back. This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto-friendly.
