Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets, skin on (about 450g)
• Salt and pepper to season
• 15ml (1 tbsp.) olive oil
• 15ml (1 tbsp.) butter
• 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
• 115g roasted red peppers, diced

• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillets flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add butter and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, then add the roasted peppers and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Add the spinach and allow it to wilt.
5. Reduce the heat to low, and add Half & Half, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.
6. Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over each fillet.
7. Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Notes: Feel free to customize the spice level by adjusting the red pepper flakes. For a lighter option, substitute Half & Half with heavy cream. This dish is not just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavors. Enjoy the culinary masterpiece!
