Ingredients

Salmon

  • 3-4 salmon filets, skin removed, about 1½ pounds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

  • 1 small shallot, diced (about ¼ cup)
  • ⅓ cup (37 g) sun-dried tomato, softened in water, drained, and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup (80 g) chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (238 g) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (245 g) milk
  • 2 cups (60 g) baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup (100 g) parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 cup (149 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over salmon on all sides and rub it in.
  • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Sprinkle seasoning mixture over the salmon filets.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add salmon. Sear for 5 minutes on each side (or until cooked to your liking). Salmon is cooked when it reaches a temperature of 145°F.
  • Place the salmon onto a plate and tent to keep warm as you prepare the sauce.
  • In the same large skillet as you cooked the salmon, add shallots and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the shallots are softened (3-5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan slightly, scraping the bottom bits as you go. Add tomato paste, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add heavy cream and milk. Stir to combine.
  • Add spinach, parmesan cheese, and tomatoes. Toss to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer until cheese is fully melted and spinach is wilted, 7-10 minutes.
  • Nestle the salmon back into the pan and spoon sauce over the top.
  • Serve topped with more parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
