  • Author: Camila
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
– 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Pan-Seared Salmon Florentine is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to prepare this delightful meal:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Rinse the spinach and set aside. Mince the garlic and gather all other ingredients.

2. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Season the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice.

4. Sear the salmon: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

5. Flip: Gently flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

6. Remove the salmon: Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate and keep warm.

7. Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

8. Add spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

9. Pour in the cream: Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine, allowing it to simmer for 1-2 minutes.

10. Incorporate cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

11. Serve the dish: Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy spinach over the top.

12. Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle chopped parsley before serving warm.

These simple steps make Pan-Seared Salmon Florentine a straightforward and pleasurable cooking experience.
