Instructions
Sauté Salmon
Rinse salmon filet and pat dry.
Using a cutting board, slice salmon into rectangular shapes or a manageable size for sautéing in a skillet.
On both sides, sprinkle salmon with Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, paprika, and creole seasoning.
On medium heat, drizzle olive oil in a nonstick skillet to help keep salmon from sticking.
Once pan is hot, add two of the salmon fillets. Cook each side for 5 minutes, and move to a plate. Repeat steps for the remaining fillets.
Spinach and Cajun Cream Sauce
On medium heat, in the same skillet, add butter, olive oil, and minced garlic.
Add sliced bell pepper, spinach, chicken bouillon, tomato paste, cajun seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for approximately 7 minutes.
Stir in heavy whipping cream, milk and parmesan cheese. Simmer for 7 minutes.
Add salmon on top of sauce and sprinkle with parsley flakes.
