  3. Wilt the Spinach: Toss in the fresh baby spinach and cook until it just begins to wilt. 🌿🌪️
  4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce starts to thicken and become velvety smooth. 🥛🧀🌀🤤
  5. Lemon Zest: Stir in the lemon juice and zest to brighten up the rich cream sauce. 🍋✨
  6. The Reunion: Place the seared salmon fillets back into the skillet. Spoon that luscious creamy sauce over the fish and let it simmer for 2 more minutes. 🐟🥄🤝
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. 🍽️😋

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The Crispy Skin Secret: If using skin-on salmon, pat the skin completely dry with a paper towel before searing to ensure it gets perfectly crispy! 🐟💎
  • Perfect Pairing: Serve this over a bed of pasta, mashed potatoes, or even Garlic Butter Rice to soak up every drop of that incredible sauce! 🍝🍚🎯
