Ingredients
  

SEARED SALMON
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chili red flakes
CREAM SAUCE
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Method
 

COOK THE SALMON
  1. Place the salmon fillets on a plate, laying them flat. Drizzle olive oil over the top and generously season with Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and a hint of red pepper flakes.
  2. In a skillet or pan over medium-high heat, warm some olive oil. Add the salmon fillets, cooking each side until they achieve a delightful golden brown and crispy texture, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to low and let the salmon cook through to the center. Once done, carefully remove the fillets from the pan.
MAKE THE SAUCE
  1. In the same saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for a minute or two.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, spinach and lemon juice, whisking the mixture together and bringing it to a gentle simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Introduce the Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce achieves a thick and creamy consistency. Once thickened, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Stir in the basil and parsley.
  5. Return the salmon to the pan, allowing it to soak in the delightful sauce for a minute or two to reheat before removing it from the heat. Now, savor the moment and enjoy!
