  • 4 thicker salmon fillets

  • 2 Tablespoon butter

  • 3-4 cloves garlic/ minced

  • 2 small shallots/finely chopped

Preparation:
  1. Prepare all the ingredients as described above in the description.

  2. Dry the salmon with kitchen paper on both sides. Season to taste on both sides.

  4. Lay the salmon fillets first on the skin to bake for 4-5 minutes until golden, then carefully turn to the other side of the oven for the same amount of time.

  5. Moving the salmon while cooking can cause it to stick to the pan, so don't touch it while it's cooking.

  7. After that, add the broth, let it sit for 1 minute, stir, then add the heavy cream and let it boil, reduce the heat and cook gently on low-moderate heat for about 6 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

  8. Add fresh cleaned spinach, mix until softened! After that, return the fillets to the sauce. Now, if you like, you can add a little grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and mix quickly, taking care not to damage the fillets.
