Description
Prepare a rich and creamy baked salmon using the popular Marry Me flavor profile. This recipe is simple enough for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the salmon in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning until combined.
- Pour the cream mixture evenly over and around the salmon fillets in the baking dish.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped fresh spinach over the sauce. The residual heat will wilt the spinach slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For faster cleanup, use a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper to line your baking dish before adding the salmon and sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer on the stovetop for 2 minutes before pouring it over the fish, or bake for an extra 2 minutes.
- Serve this salmon with quick-cooking sides like steamed asparagus or quick-cook rice.
