Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (skinless)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 5 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, sauté the garlic and onions for about 2 minutes until fragrant and softened. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
3. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes. The sauce should start to thicken.
4. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for 1-2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
5. Combine with Salmon: Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, letting them soak in the creamy sauce. Simmer for another 2 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

• You can swap out the salmon for chicken if you prefer poultry.
• Add a dash of red pepper flakes if you want a bit of heat.
• For a lighter option, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
