Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 (6-8 oz) salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (ensure halal certification)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute. Pour in the vegetable broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Choose quality salmon for best results and don't overcook - salmon continues cooking after removal from heat. Sauce can be made 1-2 days ahead, but cook salmon fresh for best texture.
