Instructions
 

  • First, pre-heat a nonstick pan on medium heat.

  • Once your pan is heated, spray lightly with olive oil and place the salmon fillets skin side down in the pan.
  • Lightly sprinkle your salmon with salt & pepper and sauté for 5 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
  • Flip your salmon, remove the skin (optional) and sauté for an additional 2 minutes with the lid on your pan.
  • If you removed your skin, flip one more time and sauté for another minute with the lid on, then remove the salmon fillets from the pan and place them on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic butter from your salmon fillets to the pan or add 2 tablespoons of butter, then 2 chopped garlic cloves.
  • While the butter is melting, add 1tbsp of your milk and 1tbsp of cornstarch into a separate small bowl. Then whisk to make a slurry.
  • Add the remainder of the milk to your pan and whisk in your corn starch slurry. Whisk until your sauce begins to thicken slightly, it only takes 1-2 minutes.
  • Then add in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese has incorporated into the sauce.
  • Next, add the sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Once the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes have slightly cooked down, return the salmon to the pan. Let the salmon heat up for another minute, then serve.
