Seared Salmon With Creamy Pasta And Spinach Recipe

How To Prepare Seared Salmon With Creamy Pasta And Spinach? 😍😍🌈🌈

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 pound salmon fillets

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped

• 5 oz fresh spinach

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 8 oz penne pasta

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt. When the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets flesh side down (skin side up). Sear for about 4 minutes over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium. Flip the salmon fillets to the other side (skin side down) and sear for another 4 or 5 minutes until the salmon is flaky. Remove the salmon from the skillet.
2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the fresh spinach and continue cooking and stirring until the spinach wilts, for a couple of minutes.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, then add the paprika and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it simmer for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste.
4. While the sauce is simmering, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the cooked pasta.
5. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the cream sauce. Stir to combine.
6. Remove the skin from the seared salmon fillets and slice the salmon into large chunks. Add the salmon chunks to the creamy pasta mixture and gently stir to incorporate. Simmer for a minute or more until the salmon is warmed through and cooked to desired doneness. The salmon should be flaky.
7. Season with additional salt if needed.
