Salmon with Garlic Cream Sauce

Perfectly pan-seared salmon served with the most irresistible garlicky cream sauce with sneaked in spinach!

Ingredients
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium shallot, diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup dry white wine*
  • ¾ cup chicken stock
  • ¾ cup half and half*
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 lemon, cut in wedges
Directions
  1. Using paper towels, pat both sides of the salmon fillets dry; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Melt butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side up, and cook until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 4-5 minutes. Using a fish turner, flip, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove and keep warm.
  3. Reduce heat to low; add garlic and shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Stir in chicken stock and half and half until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  7. Stir in spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Return salmon to the skillet; sprinkle with dill.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
