Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

  8. Return salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over the fillets.
  9. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to reheat the salmon and meld flavors. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use skinless salmon for easier serving and eating.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
