Canned salmon is more affordable and still nutritious.

Pat dry the fresh salmon to prevent sticking and ensure a nice sear.

Season the salmon with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, coating it well.

Boil some baby potatoes for a side dish while preparing the salmon.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is sizzling, add the salmon to the pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Remove the salmon to a plate and set aside once it releases easily from the pan.

Add the boiled baby potatoes to the same pan and stir until lightly browned, then remove them.

Add diced onion to the pan and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and translucent, scraping the brown bits with a spatula.

Add 4 minced garlic cloves and stir for another minute.

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and stir until it begins to simmer.

Add 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring continuously, then season with salt and pepper.

Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice, mixing well.

Add spinach and simmer gently, stirring until the spinach is wilted.

Return the salmon to the pan and let it simmer until warmed through, absorbing the flavors of the sauce.

Finish with freshly sliced lemon and fresh dill.
