Start by seasoning the salmon fillets with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.

Add the salmon fillets to the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes on one side.

Flip the salmon and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 140°F and is medium with a warm pink center.

Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter.

Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onions are translucent.

Add diced Roma tomatoes and chopped fresh basil to the skillet and stir.

Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and let the mixture simmer.

Season with black pepper and salt to taste, adjusting as necessary due to the saltiness of the chicken broth.

Add 2 cups of fresh baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding crushed red pepper for spice if desired.
