📝 Instructions

10 steps
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

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.

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.

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.

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.

6

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

7

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

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).

9

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

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.
