Easy Garlic Parmesan Creamed Spinach Salmon for a restaurant quality dinner at home. Pan seared salmon smothered in a cheesy, garlicky, creamy spinach sauce. A delicious and healthy dinner in 20 minutes.

I think I defrosted my salmon at least twice for this recipe before finally getting to it. I just knew it would take me forever to make.

Well it’s a really easy dish, but since there was going to be a photo shoot involved, I’d have to make sure to cook it pretty.

Cut the salmon right.

Get the perfect “cook marks”.

Keep one pan for cooking and another for the shoot.

Plate it clean – which can actually get quite messy with sauces

Just too much.

Glad I saved it for the weekend – and even more that I actually made it!

Can I substitute the coconut UT milk with plain milk? I hate buying ingredients for a recipe that I may not make again or before it spoils.
Thanks

  You could try cashew milk since it's thicker. I used coconut milk for the creaminess, so adding some cream would also help along with the alternative milk.

Can you use almond milk instead of coconut milk

  Hi Rose,
  
  Yes, but Id recommend adding some cream as well if you use almond milk since it's thinner than the coconut.
