Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop one yellow onion and mince three garlic cloves. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, then set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium-low and add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  4. Stir in anchovy fillet, chili flakes, and seasonings. Mix well, then add tomato paste and chicken broth, simmering for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add spinach and stir until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
  6. Return seared salmon to the skillet, sprinkle with Parmesan, and cook for an additional 3 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Plate and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately, optionally with bread or pasta.
