Pan Seared Salmon with Creamy Spinach
15 mins prepServes 4
This pan-seared salmon features a perfectly crispy outside and a tender juicy center, paired with smooth and creamy spinach. It's a delicious dish, perfect as is or accompanied by mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
1: Remove the salmon from the package and pat dry with a paper towel.
2: Score the skin with a knife to prevent buckling in the pan and season with salt and pepper.
3: Heat an 11-inch skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle salmon with olive oil.
4: Sear the salmon meat side down for 5-6 minutes, then flip and sear for another 5-6 minutes skin side down.
5: Optionally, add a dollop of butter before removing it from the pan.
6: In a separate pan, add butter and flour to create a roux; add minced garlic and stir until fragrant.
7: Slowly add 2% milk to the roux and stir until you achieve a creamy sauce.
8: Mix in chicken broth, parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, and cream cheese, stirring with a whisk.
9: Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
