Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • Cooked pasta or rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add drained roasted red peppers to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, breaking them up with a spoon.
  3. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Add spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Return salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over it.
  6. Serve salmon and sauce over cooked pasta or rice.

Notes

  • For a smoother sauce, you can blend the roasted red peppers and cream before adding them to the skillet.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.
