Creamy Salmon Florentine

This Creamy Salmon Florentine is made with juicy, tender, baked salmon and topped with creamy spinach, shallots and mushrooms. I love salmon; however, I really don’t get to eat it as often as I would like because my husband doesn’t eat seafood. Oh, and let’s be honest it can get pretty pricey. Sometimes it’s difficult cooking two different meals. Typically, when I make Salmon Florentine I’ll make him Chicken Florentine instead.

This juicy, flaky salmon with a white wine-based cream sauce, spinach, and mushrooms is truly amazing! The best part about this Creamy Salmon Florentine is that you can serve it with just about anything. You can serve this dish with white or brown rice, mashed potatoes, over pasta or just as is. I prefer to pair this dish with steamed jasmine rice because the nutty flavor pairs perfectly with the salmon.
