  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets, skinless
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup vegetable broth
– 1 cup spinach, fresh or frozen
– ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– Optional: Red pepper flakes for a kick


Instructions

Creating the One Pot Creamy Skillet Salmon is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:

1. Season the Salmon: Sprinkle both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the salmon fillets to the pan.
3. Sear the Salmon: Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5. Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
6. Incorporate Spinach and Tomatoes: Add spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, approximately 2-3 minutes.
7. Add Cheese and Lemon: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and lemon juice, allowing the sauce to melt and thicken slightly.
8. Return Salmon to Skillet: Place the seared salmon back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fish.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and add red pepper flakes for some heat, if desired.
10. Serve: Serve the salmon warm, drizzled with the creamy sauce.

These steps will guide you through creating an incredible dish effortlessly.
