# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika to enhance flavor and create a crisp exterior.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and nearly cooked to the center. Transfer salmon to a plate and set aside.
03 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for approximately 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic without browning.
04 -
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to deglaze the pan. Incorporate parmesan cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Allow mixture to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
05 -
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the leaves are just wilted and well distributed through the sauce.
06 -
Return salmon fillets to the skillet. Gently spoon the sauce over each fillet and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until salmon is heated through and flavors have melded. Garnish with fresh basil before plating.

For optimal texture, ensure salmon skin is dry before searing and watch the heat to prevent overcooking the fillets.
