Equipment

Large skillet
Spatula
Measuring cups and spoons
Knife for chopping

Ingredients

4 fillets salmon 6 ounces each, or 170g each
1 tbsp olive oil 15ml
2 cloves garlic, minced about 1 teaspoon or 5g
½ cup chicken broth 120ml
1 cup heavy cream 240ml
½ cup grated parmesan cheese 50g
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped 55g
2 cups fresh spinach 60g
1 tbsp Italian seasoning 7g
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish optional

Instructions

Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side up and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce is creamy.
Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure your parmesan cheese is freshly grated for the best flavor and texture in the sauce.

If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a bit more chicken broth until the desired consistency is reached.

For those who like a little heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be added to the sauce.

This dish pairs well with keto-friendly sides such as cauliflower rice or steamed asparagus.
