Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and chicken broth. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain the noodles and set aside.
Stir the cooked noodles into the creamy spinach sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
Add the lemon juice to the skillet and stir gently to incorporate. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy noodles and spinach.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
