4 (6- to 8-ounce) Florida salmon fillets (skinless)
1 cup Florida cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cups Florida baby spinach
2 teaspoons Florida seafood seasoning blend
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped fine
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ lemon, juiced (plus slices, for garnish)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (oregano, parsley), chopped fine
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated fresh
4 sprigs fresh basil, hand torn for garnish
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (for heat, if desired)
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Preheat a large sauté or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with 1 teaspoon of seafood seasoning blend. Add olive oil to the preheated pan, then add seasoned salmon fillets. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside. Decrease the heat to medium-low. In the same pan, add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, remainder of the seafood seasoning blend and halved cherry tomatoes. Simmer while stirring, until tomatoes start to wilt slightly. Add vegetable broth and stir to release any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Continue to simmer until liquid in pan is reduced by half. Add heavy cream, chopped herbs, lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Stir ingredients and return to a light simmer. Add baby spinach and cook until wilted into the sauce. Add ½ of the grated parmesan and stir. Taste sauce and adjust seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Add salmon fillets back into the pan with the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through. Sprinkle the remainder of the Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil and sliced lemon.
