- 4 cloves Garlic ((minced))

- Use paper towels to pat the salmon fillets completely dry – this will ensure even browning.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, until shimmering and hot. (You can test that it’s hot enough by adding a drop of water to the pan; if it sizzles, the pan is ready.)
- Once the pan is hot, right before you are ready to sear the salmon, season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
- Add the fish fillets to the pan in a single layer, skin side down. Use a fish spatula to press down on top of each fillet for the first 10 seconds immediately after adding it to the pan, to prevent curling. Sear, without moving, for 5-6 minutes, until the salmon is 80-90% opaque; only the top will be not quite done.
- Use the fish spatula to flip the salmon fillets. Cook the salmon for about 1-2 minutes, until the salmon internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), which is done medium.
- Remove the salmon to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Saute for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes, until the volume is reduced by 1/4.
- Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is just barely wilted.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, stirring constantly, until smooth and melted. (You can add salt and pepper to taste here, but I didn’t find it necessary.)
- Return the salmon to the pan, skin side down, and spoon the sauce over the fish. If you like it done more than medium, heat for a few more minutes, until done to your liking.
