I love my salmon and we always have it at least once a week. This creamy salmon recipe does not disappoint with its lemon cream sauce plus some spinach for a healthier twist. I also used dairy-free milk which is equally as creamy and delicious. The lemon gives this dish a bit of tanginess and it cuts the richness of the creamy sauce. Make this for dinner tonight!
