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
- In a large pan on medium-high heat, warm olive oil.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted.
- 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.
- 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.

Loved this one!
★★★★★
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.

Don’t yu have recipe for low thyroid people instead of diabetic. .?…?
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
