Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Creamy Skillet Salmon effortlessly:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Salmon: Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine, letting it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Incorporate Spinach and Cheese: Add fresh spinach and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts smoothly into the sauce.
7. Add Lemon Juice: Stir in fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
8. Combine with Salmon: Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Allow it to heat through for another minute.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
10. Serve Immediately: Plate the salmon with sauce generously drizzled over it.
