1 Tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, finely diced
4 ounces roasted red peppers, diced
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup Half & Half or heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes or more to taste
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, finely diced

Directions:
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon fillets flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add butter and garlic.
Cook for 1 minute, add the roasted peppers, and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the spinach and allow it to wilt.
Reduce the heat to low, and add Half & Half, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.
Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over each filet.

Notes:
Serve over pasta or steamed rice with steamed veggies.
You can cut down on the fat (and lactose) by using coconut milk or coconut cream instead of the half & half or cream. It won't cut down on the enjoyment even one iota in my opinion. After all, the salmon and roased peppers are the stars here.
