Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups of fresh spinach leaves
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and black pepper to your liking.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it releases its fragrant aroma.
- Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook them for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they achieve your preferred level of doneness. Once done, transfer the salmon to a plate and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach leaves. Sauté and stir them for about 2-3 minutes until they wilt and become tender.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the cheese is fully melted, stirring frequently.
- Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the cream sauce and stir well to incorporate the flavors. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, placing them atop the bed of spinach and sauce. Allow them to heat through for a minute or two.
- Finally, serve your salmon with spinach and garlic cream sauce hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness.
