Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced
  • 3 cups spinach, roughly, chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups table cream (18%) or half-and-half (10%)
  • 1 oz parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Parsley chopped, to serve
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pan on medium-high heat, warm olive oil.
  2. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the oil is warm, add salmon fillets to the pan, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2minutes until you reach your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove salmon fillets from the pan and set them aside.
  3. In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium, add onion and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent and garlic is tender.
  4. Add broth, stirring and scraping the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula to remove any crispy bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until the broth has reduced by roughly half.
  5. Add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, add cream and stir to combine with the vegetable mixture. Add grated parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate into the cream mixture.
  7. Return salmon fillets to the pan, spooning some of the sauce over each piece of salmon, sprinkle with parsley (optional) and serve

      Made this for the family and it was a huge hit. Like a restaurant meal at home, it was pretty to look at and easy to make. This will definitely become a regular.

      Amazing recipe! Our salmon pieces were quite thick, so took a little extra cooking time on both sides. But I followed everything else to a tee and it tasted oh so good! Served on basmati rice.

      I really liked this dish, really tasty. I didn’t use sun-dried tomatoes though (forgot to buy) so used fresh tomatoes , just seeded them and roasted them in the oven. Next time I will try the sun-dried though and see which I prefer.

        Unfortunately, I can’t make individual dietary recommendations. It’s best to work with your registered dietician or doctor to determine what is best for you. 🙂

      This dish was easy to make, super delicious & was enjoyed by all the family. You could easily switch the protein for chicken or pork. Only concern was it is a lot of cream & hence quite high in fat.

      Made this for dinner tonight. Loved the flavour – sun dried tomatoes made it perfect. Think I would thicken the sauce a bit more but will definitely be making this again and a good one for company
