Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat dry the salmon fillets using paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it foams. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side.
  3. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add heavy cream, followed by sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, simmering for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Return the salmon to the pan, nestling it into the sauce. Heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
