Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1.25 pound salmon fillets
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
2 clove garlic (minced)
0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and chopped)
1 cup heavy cream
0.5 cup chicken broth
3 ounce fresh spinach
2 zucchinis (spiralized into noodles)
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

Season salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through and flaky. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
While the sauce simmers, quickly sauté zucchini noodles in a separate pan with a touch of olive oil for 2-3 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
Return salmon to the skillet with the cream sauce to warm through. Serve salmon and sauce over zucchini noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Adjust the consistency of the cream sauce by simmering longer for a thicker sauce or adding a splash more broth for a thinner one.
