This easy weeknight dinner takes one pan and 20 minutes. The salmon is wonderfully creamy and full of flavor!
If you want easy, this recipe is for you! First, we are going to use some of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes. It is so perfect to cook protein in, and we are not wasting it in the jar. On medium to high heat, add your tomato oil in the pan. Season your salmon to your liking. I used Old Bay.
Cook your salmon skin side down then flip. We want a crispy skin, that is the best part! Cook your salmon about 4-5 minutes a side or until the interior is cooked.
Remove your salmon and add the sun dried tomatoes, and your spinach. Once the spinach has begun wilting down, add your heavy cream. Turn down the heat and stir. Lastly, add some lemon juice, paprika, and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Put your salmon back into the pan so it can soak up all that creamy sauce! Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese and enjoy!

I made this tonight after seeing it and oh my gosh it’s a 20/10. Doubled the recipe for extras but didn’t use more than the two cups of cream and it was incredible. My husband absolutely loved it. Great job!
