Equipment

  • Large frying pan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • For the Salmon:
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Sauce:
  • 50 g diced sun-dried tomatoes
  • 150 ml chicken stock
  • 40 g Philadelphia light cream cheese
  • 15 g Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2-3 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of chili flakes
  • A handful of spinach

Instructions
 

  • To start, I cover the salmon fillets with all of the seasonings: Old Bay, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. I also sprinkle some salt and pepper on top for extra flavor.
  • Next, I heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a little spray oil. Once the pan is hot, I place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook them for about 3-5 minutes. Then, I flip the salmon and cook the other side for another couple of minutes until it’s cooked through. After cooking, I remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, I spray a bit more oil and add the diced onion, oregano, and chili flakes. I cook these until the onion is soft, then I add the crushed garlic and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Now, I stir in the chicken stock, Philadelphia cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. I bring the sauce to a simmer, letting it bubble for a minute to combine all the flavors. After that, I gently add the salmon back to the pan to warm it through for a couple of minutes.
  • Finally, I toss in a handful of spinach and stir until it’s wilted. The dish is ready to serve!

Notes

Make sure the salmon is cooked through but not overcooked to keep it juicy. When adding the garlic to the pan, watch it closely to avoid burning, as garlic can turn bitter if cooked too long.
