Ingredients:

For the Salmon:
– 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skinless or with skin
– Salt & pepper, to taste
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1 tsp smoked paprika
– 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce:
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
– 1 tsp dried basil or Italian seasoning
– 1 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– Salt & pepper, to taste

 

Instructions:

1. Season the Salmon:
First things first, pat those salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. You want them nice and dry for that perfect sear! Now, sprinkle on the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a good rub, make sure every bit is seasoned!

2. Sear the Salmon:
Heat up that olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, lay those salmon fillets in the pan. Sear ‘em for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked to your liking. When they’re done, take ‘em out and set aside.

3. Prepare the Sauce:
In the same skillet, toss in the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it’s fragrant and making your kitchen smell divine. Now, stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Mix it all up and let that sauce simmer and thicken a bit.

4. Enhance the Flavor:
Time to jazz it up! Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, and if you like a little kick, toss in those chili flakes. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to really develop that deep, rich flavor.

5. Combine Everything:
Now, add in the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts down. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, and spoon that creamy sauce right over them. Let everything simmer together for another 2 minutes so those flavors can mingle.

6. Serve & Enjoy:
If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with some fresh basil or parsley. Serve this beauty warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a comforting, restaurant-quality meal that’ll have everyone asking for seconds!
