Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Cooked pasta or rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add drained roasted red peppers to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Transfer roasted red peppers to a blender. Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce back into the skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it.
  7. Serve immediately over cooked pasta or rice.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, serve the salmon with rice or gluten-free pasta.
  • You can add other vegetables like asparagus or broccoli to the sauce.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
