Calories 317kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 4oz salmon filets
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 8 oz canned artichoke hearts
  • 1 cup half n half
  • cup shredded parmesan
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional Garnish- parsley sage & lemons

Instructions

  • Start by sprinkling salmon with salt and pepper. (Tip: bring salmon to room temperature and dab dry with paper towel.)
  • Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned salmon breasts, about 3-4 minutes on each side, until bright pink and flaky. (Tip: try not to over flip the fish to prevent sticking and breaking) Remove fish and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cook onions and garlic until they are fragrant and translucent.
  • Add artichokes and cook for about 2 minutes or until artichokes are softened. Lower heat to low-medium.
  • Gently drizzle in the half n half and parmesan, then simmer for 3-4 minutes gently stirring to help melt cheese. (Tip: bringing cream to room temp before adding to pan will prevent it from splitting)
  • Add spinach leaves and fresh sage until they are thoroughly wilted, about 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper if needed.
  • Place the salmon back in the sauce and simmer for 3 minutes on low. Serve warm, garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice and parsley if desired and enjoy.
