Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets

  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz fresh spinach
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them in the prepared dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth.
  4. Stir in the fresh spinach until it is evenly coated in the cream mixture.
  5. Spoon the creamy spinach mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

  7. Serve immediately and enjoy this taste of a cherished memory.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little warmth.
  • If your cream cheese is too firm, microwave it for 10 seconds to soften it easily.
  • This pairs wonderfully with roasted asparagus or simple rice pilaf.
