Reduce heat to medium.

Flip the salmon fillets to the other side (skin side down). Sear for another 4 or 5 minutes on medium heat until salmon is flaky.

Remove salmon from the skillet.

How to make white cream sauce

To the same, now empty, skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped artichokes, capers. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add fresh spinach, and continue cooking and stirring until the spinach wilts, for a couple of minutes.

To the skillet with sautéed vegetables, add 1 cup of heavy cream and paprika. Bring to simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute, stirring. Season with salt. Add more paprika, if you like.

Assembly

Add cooked salmon to the skillet with the cream sauce.

Spoon the sauce over the salmon, and simmer for a minute or more, until the salmon is warmed up and cooked through. The salmon should be flaky.

Season with salt, if needed.
