INGREDIENTS


  2 salmon fillets skin on (about 1 lb.)

Salt and pepper to season

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. butter

3 cloves garlic finely diced


4 oz. roasted red peppers diced

4 cups fresh baby spinach

½ cup Half & Half or heavy cream

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese


¼ tsp. red pepper flakes or to taste

¼ cup chopped parsley

Salt and pepper to taste


INSTRUCTIONS


Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillets flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.

To the same pan, add butter and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, add the roasted peppers, and cook for 2 more minutes.

Add the spinach and allow it to wilt.

Reduce the heat to low, and add Half & Half, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.

Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over each filet.

Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
