Creamy Salmon and Spinach Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Combine dry ingredients: onion powder, paprika, black pepper, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder in a bowl.

Drizzle olive oil over salmon fillets to coat top and bottom.

Apply the mixed dry seasonings evenly on both sides of the salmon.

Let the seasoned salmon sit for 15-20 minutes if time allows (optional).

Preheat a skillet and add one stick of butter, melting it on low to medium-low heat.

Add smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the melted butter, stirring to infuse the flavors.

Place the salmon in the skillet, ensuring space between each fillet, and cook on low heat, basting with oil from the pan.

After about 4 minutes, gently flip the salmon and baste the top again with oil.

Cook for another 4 minutes until golden brown, then remove the salmon from the skillet gently.

Remove excess oil and the garlic, rosemary, and thyme from the skillet.

Increase heat to medium and add whole milk and heavy cream to the skillet, bringing it to a simmer.

Once simmering, add Parmesan cheese and reduce heat to low, stirring to avoid burning and to thicken the sauce.

Add spinach to the sauce and mix in until wilted, about 1 minute.

Return the salmon to the skillet gently, basting with the creamy sauce.

Turn off the heat and baste the salmon with the sauce again before serving.
