Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. of salmon cut into 4 fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Brush the salmon on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Sear the salmon flesh side down in the skillet for 5 minutes. Flip and cook 5 more minutes on the skin side down.
  • Remove the salmon from the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Add 1.5 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and add the minced garlic and chopped onions.    Cook for several minutes until soft.  Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the wine and stir well to combine.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until the wine reduces by half.
  • Add the cream and parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate.
  • Add the baby spinach, salt and pepper and stir until the spinach wilts.
  • Add the salmon back to the skillet and simmer covered, over low heat until the salmon is fully cooked through in the middle - 3-5 minutes.
