Ingredients
  • 6 Wild Caught Salmon Filets (or one from Costco sliced into 6 pieces)
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Himalayan Salt to taste
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 Tbsp Salted Butter
  • 2 Shallots, sliced thinly
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
  • ¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk or Heavy Cream
  • ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
  1. Slice the salmon and season both sides with salt (keep the skin on for cooking!)
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon to the pan, skin side up and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then flip the salmon and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until it is cooked to your liking. Remove the salmon from the skillet. At this point, you can discard the skin if you choose!
  3. Add the butter to the skillet and when it's melted, add the shallots and garlic. Cook for about 20-30 seconds or until fragrant.
  4. Add the red pepper flakes, coconut milk, and Parmesan cheese to the pan, gently stirring to incorporate. Once the cheese has melted, bring the sauce to a simmer.
  5. Add the lemon juice and baby spinach to the pan, stirring until the spinach wilts.
  6. Add the salmon back to the pan and cover with sauce.
  7. Serve immediately.
