Ready in 30 minutes, this Tuscan-inspired skillet meal is one of our best salmon dinner recipes. Made with coconut milk and no-dairy Sundried Tomato Pasta Sauce, it’s creamy and indulgent without any dairy. We love to pair this salmon dish with orzo, couscous, rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.

Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (4 oz. each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Primal Kitchen Pure Avocado Oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 packed cups baby spinach
-
1 cup Primal Kitchen Sundried Tomato Pasta Sauce
- 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- Fresh chopped basil, for garnish
Directions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season the tops with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Turn heat to low and in the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of avocado oil. Add garlic, sundried tomatoes, and spinach and sauté for 1 minute until spinach is wilted.
- Skim the cream off the top of the coconut milk. Stir in the Sundried Tomato Pasta Sauce and coconut milk to the skillet. Mix well.
- Make a little well and return the salmon fillets to the skillet. Add lid on top and cook on low for 4-5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve hot.
