Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups chopped spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
• ½ white onion, sliced
• 2 (4 ounce) salmon steaks
• 1 cup semi-dry white wine (such as Chablis)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion and 1/2 of the garlic, breaking onion into rings, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add salmon to onion mixture and cook until salmon is about 1/4-cooked, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Pour wine and cream over salmon and cook, stirring lightly and flipping salmon halfway through, until liquid is reduced by 1/2 and salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir remaining garlic until fragrant and golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook until spinach is wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4

Place spinach on 2 serving plates, making a well in the center of each. Arrange each salmon steak in the center of the well and pour sauce over each. Garnish salmon with onion.
