Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped (plus more for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, presentation-side down. Sear for 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove salmon to a plate and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, sun-dried tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Add the fresh spinach and stir until it just wilts, about 1 minute. Stir in the fresh basil.
  7. Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Spoon some sauce over the top. Let everything heat through for 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
  8. Garnish with extra fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
