Ingredients
Scale
- 150g / 5.3oz baby spinach leaves
- 4 120-150g / 4-5oz boneless skinless salmon fillets
- 2 tbsp / 30g unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely diced
- 1/8 tsp each: ground nutmeg, white pepper, salt
- 1 lemon
- black pepper, as needed
- olive oil, as needed
- 1 echalion, finely diced
- 60ml / 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 120ml / 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 180ml / 3/4 cup double/heavy cream
- 30g / 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle in some oil.
- Add the spinach and stir until wilted, using a wooden spoon to press it down. Remove the spinach and pat dry with kitchen towels to remove excess moisture.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Increase heat to medium-high, add more oil, and place the salmon presentation side down. Fry for 3 minutes until golden, flip and fry for another 2 minutes, basting with butter until cooked through.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate and reduce heat to medium.
- Add finely diced shallots to the remaining butter in the pan and fry until soft and golden. Add garlic and fry for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the wine and bring to a simmer, cooking until almost evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.
- Lower heat, add chicken stock and cream, and stir in parmesan, nutmeg, white pepper, and salt until combined. Simmer until the sauce thickens, then add the juices from the salmon and spinach.
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon and garnish with lemon wedges.
Notes
For a healthier option, use lemon juice instead of some cream to reduce fat content.
Ensure the shallots are finely diced for even cooking and better flavor integration.
