  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. Pour in heavy cream, scraping any browned bits from the skillet. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  5. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish and sprinkle Italian seasoning. Adjust seasoning as needed.
