Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets skinless
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cups spinach chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter and saute the garlic until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the salmon fillets back to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and cook for another minute to warm through.
  • Serve the salmon fillets with the garlic butter sauce and spinach.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Sear the salmon skin-side down first and leave it undisturbed for the full 3-4 minutes - resist the urge to move it, or you'll tear the crust that's forming. Keto Swap: none needed - naturally keto.
