- Take 1 1/2 lb of salmon fillet and add 2 21/2 Tbsp of olive oil to it. Season the Salmon on both sides with 1/2 tsp of black pepper powder and 1/4 tsp of salt.

- Add 1/4 cup of white wine vinegar, mix and add 2 1/2 cups of spinach. Quickly saute for a few seconds and add 1/4 cup of creme—Cook for 2 minutes on a low flame after adding the cream.
- Add 1/4 cup of water (adjust according to the preferred consistency). Adjust the spices and add extra salt or chili flakes.
- Add the cooked Salmon to the pan and gently move the spatula around to coat the Salmon with the sauce.
- Garnish with more parmesan cheese and parsley.
- Serve with steamed or roasted vegetables, zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, white or brown rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
