Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 6 cups Fresh spinach
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Lightly grease a baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the wilted spinach evenly on the bottom of the dish.

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets on top of the spinach, skin side down if the skin is still attached.

Step 7

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Pair with your favorite side dish, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh salad.
