Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather and prepare all ingredients by mincing the garlic and chopping the spinach.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and add more butter along with minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about one minute.
- Pour in heavy cream while scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the pan. Stir in Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Add spinach to the sauce, allowing it to wilt before returning the salmon to the pan. Simmer for an additional few minutes until heated through.
- Serve immediately, drizzling extra sauce over the salmon alongside pasta or crusty bread.
