Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Pat dry the salmon fillets and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. In the same pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add heavy cream, scraping up any bits from the pan. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted, then add fresh spinach until wilted.
  6. Return the salmon to the pan and drizzle with lemon juice and Italian seasoning. Cook on low for another few minutes before serving.

Keywords: For added flavor variations, consider swapping salmon for trout or chicken. Fresh herbs like dill or basil can enhance the sauce beautifully. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, reheating gently on low heat.
