Prepare a quick and effortless dinner for four, where the vegetables and sauce combine in one skillet while the salmon broils.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds salmon fillet, cut into 4 equal portions
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup halved and thinly sliced shallot
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups coarsely chopped baby spinach
  • ½ cup cut marinated artichoke hearts

Directions

  1. Arrange the oven rack in the upper third position and preheat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Broil the salmon, rotating once from front to back, until it is opaque in the center, typically taking around 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, for about a minute. Whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, cornstarch, garlic powder, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a measuring cup. Add the mixture to the skillet and continue cooking, stirring, until it starts to thicken, which should take around 2 minutes. Add the baby spinach and artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted, typically lasting for about 1 to 2 minutes. If desired, remove the skin from the salmon before serving. Serve the salmon topped with the sauce.
