When preparing salmon, I always know it will be quick and surely delicious. Since salmon needs only a few minutes in a skillet or 12-15 minutes in the oven, preparing salmon for dinner is a pleasure. And I hope I didn’t surprise you by such a short salmon cooking time. After all, salmon can be overcooked very quickly, and then nothing good comes out from that – you will have a dry piece of fish in front of your nose. For this reason, I always emphasize in my recipes that you need to keep a close eye on the cooking time for salmon (after all, no one wants to eat an overdone fish…).

So, my dear ones, with this “don’t overcook salmon” monologue I present a gourmet (or close to it), super delicious salmon in a creamy sauce with spinach and mascarpone cheese. You can guess from the ingredients alone that it will be fantastic. nyway, in my opinion, a dish made with mascarpone cheese just can’t be tasteless. Mascarpone is such a heavenly, mild-like fluffy cheese that can turn a simple dish into a real masterpiece.

You can serve salmon prepared in this way with rice, fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, pasta, stewed vegetables or just a salad. As you can see, any side dish you choose will work beautifully. I enjoyed my salmon with rice and a simple salad.

Enjoy your meal!
