Canned salmon is more affordable and still nutritious.

Take the salmon out of the fridge and let it sit for 15 minutes to come to room temperature.

Season the salmon with salt and pepper.

Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Once the oil is very hot, add the salmon and cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add unsalted butter and let it melt.

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add flour and whisk it in, cooking for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Pour in low-sodium chicken broth and whisk until it thickens.

Add a mixture of milk and heavy cream to the sauce.

Incorporate parsley, red pepper flakes, and onion powder into the sauce.

Mix in Parmesan cheese and a chicken bouillon cube until well combined.

Add chopped baby spinach to the sauce and cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat until wilted.

Return the salmon to the pan, letting it cook in the sauce for about 1 minute, and baste the salmon with the sauce.
