When cooking salmon with cream cheese, spinach, and garlic, there are a few key factors to consider in order to create a delicious and memorable dish. The type of salmon used can greatly affect the flavor and texture of the dish, with options such as wild-caught or farmed, as well as different varieties like sockeye, Chinook, or coho salmon. The cream cheese adds a rich and creamy texture, while the spinach provides a pop of color and nutrients. The garlic adds a savory and aromatic flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly. With careful consideration of each component and attention to cooking techniques, you can create a salmon with cream cheese, spinach, and garlic dish that will impress your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with olive oil. Place salmon fillets in pan. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley and a sprinkle of pepper. Spread this over the salmon fillets. (I usually micrwave this for 20 to 30 seconds to make it easier to spread).
- Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the cream cheese.
- Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly and neatly over the onions (I make 4 layers of leaves).
- Spray or drizzle the spinach leaves with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake 25-35 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. It takes a little longer than usual because of all the toppings.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each and microwave on high for 5 mins until soft (alternatively, bake for 35-40 mins). Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the salmon on both sides - don't worry about it being cooked through at this point. Transfer the salmon to a plate, wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, without letting it brown, then add the spinach, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning. Stir in the mascarpone and 2 tbsp of the milk and cook until the spinach has wilted.
- Tip the spinach mix into an ovenproof dish and top with the lemon slices and salmon fillets. Bake for 5-8 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, scoop the sweet potato flesh from the skins and mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Serve the sweet potato mash alongside the salmon and creamy spinach.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9x11-inch baking pan with foil.
- Press as much liquid from the thawed spinach as possible using clean dish towels or paper towels and place in a medium mixing bowl.
- Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to turn clear, about 4 minutes. Add cooked mushrooms and onions to spinach with Parmesan cheese, garden vegetable cream cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and add kosher salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Combine olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Pat salmon fillets dry and brush both sides with the combined olive oil and lemon juice. Place fillets in the foil-lined pan and sprinkle with ground sea salt. Divide spinach mixture evenly between the two fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 19 minutes. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon whenever possible, as it is higher in omega-3 fatty acids and lower in contaminants than farm-raised salmon. If you can't find wild-caught salmon, choose farm-raised salmon that is certified organic or sustainably raised.
- Cook the salmon to perfection. Salmon is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking can make it dry and tough. To check for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of the salmon. If the salmon flakes easily and is opaque throughout, it is done.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your dish. Use fresh spinach, cream cheese, and garlic, and use a good quality olive oil.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to cook salmon with cream cheese and spinach. You can add different herbs and spices, or you can change the type of cheese you use. Get creative and have fun with it!
Conclusion:
Salmon with cream cheese and spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a healthy and flavorful meal that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
