Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with 1 tsp salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Sear the Salmon
Heat olive oil and unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Arrabbiata Sauce
Lower the heat and add chopped onions and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the anchovy, chili, oregano, sage, and paprika. Add the tomato paste, stirring to incorporate for 1 minute. Deglaze with chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits at the bottom of the skillet.
Step 4: Finish the Sauce
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 5: Add the Spinach and Salmon
Toss in the spinach and simmer for 2 minutes until wilted. Stir in the grated Parmesan and return the salmon fillets to the skillet. Let them cook for another 3 minutes until heated through. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more broth to thin it out.

- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture. If fresh isn’t available, frozen salmon fillets work just as well—just thaw them completely before cooking.
- Control the heat by adjusting the amount of chili or red pepper flakes. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili or skip it entirely.
