Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil. Season 4 salmon fillets evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then place them skin-side down in the dish.
  2. Step 2: Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 4 cups fresh baby spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove skillet from heat and stir in 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp chopped dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Pour the creamy spinach mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Bake uncovered for 15-18 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the salmon.
