Description

This creamy salmon florentine with spinach and mushrooms is an easy yet elegant dinner choice. Tender salmon fillets are seared to perfection, then smothered in a luscious creamy sauce made with spinach, mushrooms, and Parmesan. The hint of nutmeg adds a warm flavor depth, making this a perfect weeknight meal or special occasion dish.


Ingredients

4 salmon fillets

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cups fresh spinach

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Juice of 1 lemon


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side up, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

You can use other greens like kale or arugula for a variation in flavor.

Non-dairy options: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and skip the Parmesan for a dairy-free version.

For an extra kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
