Salt and pepper to season
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. butter

Directions
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

- Add the spinach and allow it to wilt.
- Reduce the heat to low, and add Half & Half, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over each filet.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
