Instructions
- Season salmon filets with salt and pepper. Heat oil in non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon filets flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, remove from pan and set aside. To the same pan, add butter and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, add roasted red peppers, and cook for 2 more minutes. Add spinach and allow it to wilt. Reduce heat to low, and add half & half, parmesan, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer. Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over each filet. Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
