Ingredients

  • 2 Salmon Fillets skin off
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 2 Cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Flour
  • ½ tsp Dried Basil
  • ½ tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Fresh Parsley
  • Cup Fresh Chopped Spinach
  • ½ Cup Fresh Grated Parmesan
  • Cup Sun Dried Tomato
  • Crushed Red Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Salt and pepper the salmon fillets after patting them fully dry.
  • Heat up the olive oil on a pan on medium to medium high heat.
  • Depending on the size of your pan, you may need more oil. You'll want to make sure there is a solid thin layer of oil on the pan or your salmon will shred.
  • Sear the salmon for 4 - 5 minutes on the bottom side of the salmon, move the salmon every now and then so it doesn't stick.
  • Sear the top of the salmon for 1 - 2 minutes. Sear each side for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Put the salmon aside on a different plate.
  • Top off the oil on the pan if you need some and sautee the garlic on a medium low heat.
  • Add the milk, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper, ½ tsp salt, crack of black pepper, and parsley.
  • Whisk in ½ Tbsp of flour thoroughly. Once fully incorporated, whisk in the other ½ Tbsp.
  • Whisk constantly and turn the heat up to medium to allow the mixture to bubble a thicken.
  • Add the grated parmesan and continue to whisk.
  • Toss in the spinach, the water from the spinach will make sure the sauce doesn't thicken too much. Stir.
  • Place the salmon back in the pan and spoon the sauce over the fillets.
  • Sprinkle in the sundried tomatoes cover with a lid for a few minutes.
  • Enjoy alone or with some pasta!
