This flavorful dish combines tender salmon with a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Protein
- 4 fillets Salmon Fillets (Use fresh or thoroughly thawed frozen salmon for the best flavor and texture.)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (Can be swapped with coconut cream or cashew cream for non-dairy diets.)
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese (Use nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (Ensure a rich sauté; olive oil works well as a dairy-free alternative.)
- 1 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (Adds a concentrated sweetness.)
- 2 cups Spinach (Provides vibrant color and texture; replace with kale or Swiss chard for a different twist.)
- 3 cloves Garlic (Fresh cloves enhance flavor; garlic powder is a quick substitute in a pinch.)
- Optional Fresh Herbs (Elevate the dish with basil or thyme for a flavor twist.)
- Optional Pasta or Grains (Serve over cooked pasta, quinoa, or rice for a more filling meal option.)

- In the same pan, sauté garlic, add sun-dried tomatoes, and cook briefly.
- Pour in heavy cream, add Parmesan or nutritional yeast, and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted, then return salmon to the pan to reheat.
- Serve the sauce over cooked pasta or grains if desired, garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute with coconut or cashew cream and nutritional yeast.
