Method
 

Cooking Steps:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients - Gather all your ingredients. Finely chop the shallots (or onion) and garlic, halve the baby tomatoes, and chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
  2. Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics - In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Step 3: Add Tomatoes and Stock - Add the halved baby tomatoes and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, then pour in the stock and simmer.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Salmon - Push the tomato mixture aside and add the salmon fillets. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Add Spinach and Cream - Add spinach and crème fraîche or sour cream. Stir gently, allowing spinach to wilt and cream to meld. Squeeze in lemon juice.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Plate the salmon and spoon the creamy sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Pair with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
  • Use low-sodium stock for a healthier version.
