Cooking Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a frying pan, then sear the salmon over medium high heat for 6-7 minutes until golden and crispy skin side up. Remove salmon to a plate.
- Add minced garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes to the pan, sauté for 30 seconds on low heat, then deglaze with white wine and simmer for 5 minutes, reducing liquid by half.
- Add heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, stir until incorporated, then add chopped spinach and return salmon into the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes and season sauce with salt to taste.
Notes
Pat salmon dry to avoid steaming and ensure proper sear. Use fresh grated Parmesan for better flavor and texture. Substitute with kale or arugula if preferred.
