- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 4 – 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup diced pancetta
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup freshly-grated Parmigiana cheese
- 1 tsp. Tuscan Herb Blend spice mixture

- Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Original Flavor Seasoning

Instructions
For the Salmon:
- Sprinkle on both sides of the salmon fillets: freshly cracked black pepper, Mrs. Dash, and any other seasonings that you prefer on fish (See ingredients list).
- Set the stove burner heat to high and get a large frying pan super hot, but not to the point of smoking.
- Add olive oil and allow it to heat up.
- Add the salmon fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3 – 5 minutes. I turn the burner heat down at this point so the fish doesn’t cook too fast. When the salmon is no longer a dark pink and becomes more of a white-pink, that’s the time to flip the fish over. Then turn the salmon over and cook for another 3 – 5 minutes again until the salmon has a pink center.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the skillet and set them aside, leaving the olive oil and cooked salmon ‘bits’ in the pan.
For the Sauce:
- Turn the stovoe burner heat down to medium-low and add the butter to melt.
- Then add the garlic and pancetta to the frying pan/skillet to saute’ for a few minutes (do not burn).
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and saute for another minute or two.
- Next add the cream, chicken broth, herbs and seasonings and bring to a gentle bubbling stage.
- Add the Parmigiana cheese and simmer until melted and the sauce is thickened. If the sauce is too thick, add some more broth or cream, a little bit at a time.
- Add the spinach and cook until it has just started to wilt.
- Add the salmon fillets back into the pan and cook for a 3 – 5 more minutes until nice and warmed all the way through.
- Serve on individual plates, pour some sauce onto each salmon fillet,
- Garnish with paprika and minced Italian Parsley,
- SERVE and ENJOY!
