Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets, skin-on (about 1 lb total)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 4 oz jarred roasted red peppers, diced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup Half & Half or heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon flesh-side down and cook for 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add butter and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Stir in the roasted red peppers and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in Half & Half, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, parsley, and season to taste.
- Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each fillet.
- Serve hot over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Do not overcook the salmon; it continues to cook from residual heat.
- Drain roasted peppers well to avoid a watery sauce.
- For a richer flavor, roast your own red peppers.
- Double the sauce for extra servings or to use over side dishes.
- Great with pasta, quinoa, or crusty bread on the side.
