Instructions
Prepare the Salmon:
Pat the salmon dry, season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Sear the Salmon:
- Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Place salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes, then remove from the pan.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
- Add 1 tbsp butter and garlic to the same pan, cook for 30 seconds.
- Toss in cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes, sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth, let it simmer for a minute.
- Lower heat and add heavy cream, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
- Let the sauce thicken for 3-4 minutes, then stir in spinach until wilted.
Combine & Serve:
- Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over it. Let it warm through for 2 minutes.
- Serve hot with keto-friendly sides. Enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh or frozen (thawed) salmon.
Don’t swap heavy cream for milk—cream makes the sauce thick and rich.
Adjust seasoning as needed—Parmesan adds saltiness.
Serve with zucchini noodles, cauliflower mash, or a simple salad.
