Salmon Florentine
I’m back with a delicious recipe for you! Well, “back” is a relative term, it’s more like I finally got a chance to finish the recipe post I’ve been working on for over a week. Little man and baby girl have been keeping me quite busy. I’m so happy that I saved some extra recipes this summer so that I had something to share with you guys.
This is one of my favorite recipes to make and one of my favorite recipes from the ones I’ve saved. First of all, salmon is my weakness! If I could, I would be eating salmon all day, every day. That could get quite expensive though. Combine this juicy, flaky salmon with some wine based cream sauce, spinach, and mushrooms and it’s a killer dish.
I actually couldn’t get enough of this dish while pregnant. Normally don’t love SO much spinach because of the after-taste fresh spinach tends to leave, but I was crazy for some spinach for the last 9 months. It’s a good thing because of how healthy spinach is. This whole dish is easy, fast, and packed with health benefits!
The best part is that you can serve Salmon Florentine with just about ANYTHING. You can serve this dish with mashed potatoes, over pasta, with extra veggies, or just as is. I love it with mashed potatoes if I’m feeling like I want a little extra comfort, and I love it as is, with extra spinach and mushrooms, if I’m feeling more of a lighter fare.
You and your family can decide what kind of comforting or healthy side you want to serve with this Salmon Florentine.

Great receipe, thank you. To the women who felt the flavor was flat try this. I store my garlic in my olive oil jar. The veggies got a hit of garlic and the salmon also. Loved it.

This is one on my favorite recipes that my family asks for over and over. I serve with a side of mashed potatoes to soak up the liquid.

Silvia says
Looks delicious!!! Do you have any suggestions to make it dairy free??? May be coconut milk?
LyubaB says
Some people will make it with almond milk but it will be a little thinner so you can thicken it up with a roux by mixing up 1 tbsp of flour 1 tbsp of plant base butter and mix it together.
