Ingredients

Salmon

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound salmon fillets (3 or 4 salmon fillets)

¼ teaspoon salt

White Cream Sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped

5 ounces fresh spinach

1 cup heavy cream

Directions

1Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.

3When the oil is hot, add salmon fillets flesh side down (skin side up). Sear for about 4 minutes on medium-high heat.

4Reduce heat to medium.

5Flip the salmon fillets to the other side (skin side down). Sear for another 4 or 5 minutes on medium heat until salmon is flaky.

6Remove salmon from the skillet.

White Cream Sauce

1To the same, now empty, skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped artichokes, capers. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

2Add fresh spinach, and continue cooking and stirring until the spinach wilts, for a couple of minutes.

3To the skillet with sautéed vegetables, add 1 cup of heavy cream and paprika. Bring to simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute, stirring. Season with salt. Add more paprika, if you like.

Assembly

1Add cooked salmon to the skillet with the cream sauce.

2Spoon the sauce over the salmon, and simmer for a minute or more, until the salmon is warmed up and cooked through. The salmon should be flaky. Season with salt, if needed.
