Pan-Seared Salmon with Creamy Spinach Recipe

 

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin on
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salmon:
    • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Cook the Salmon:
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and sear without moving them for about 5-6 minutes or until the skin is crispy.
    • Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make Creamy Spinach:
    • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it thicken slightly, then add the spinach. Cook until the spinach has wilted and the sauce is creamy.
    • Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve:
    • Place a generous amount of creamy spinach on each plate. Top with a salmon fillet. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Conclusion:

This dish is not only visually stunning but also packed with flavor. The crispy skin of the salmon provides a nice texture contrast to the creamy, garlicky spinach. It’s a perfect dish for a special occasion or a regular weekday meal that feels a bit more gourmet. Enjoy your cooking and the delightful meal!
