¾ cup sundried tomatoes (chopped)

1 cup heavy cream (Note 4)

Instrucțiuni

Prep the salmon: pat dry with kitchen towels and season with salt and pepper.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.

Add salmon to the pan skin side down, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes then flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes until fully cooked. It should reach a temperature of 140°F/60°C, a thicker cut will take a little longer. Transfer salmon to a plate, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

To make the cream sauce:

Melt the butter and add chopped sundried tomatoes, garlic and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Do not burn the garlic, cook for just 30 seconds.

Adjust the heat to medium-low, and add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, dried herbs, and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes and thicken (if too thick, add a splash of water). Season with salt and pepper.

Add the spinach, stir it in and let it wilt in the sauce.

Put the salmon back in the sauce, spoon the sauce over the salmon. Serve warm over pasta, rice, or with steamed veg.
