10 Minute Salmon Gnocchi
Description
This recipe begins by pan-searing salmon fillets skin-side down until cooked through. Separately, gnocchi are sautéed in butter on medium heat until their edges become lightly crispy. Spinach is added and cooked until wilted, followed by the addition of cream cheese, parmesan, and lemon juice to create a creamy sauce coating the gnocchi and greens.
The cooked salmon is flaked and folded into the mixture, distributing tender fish pieces throughout the creamy gnocchi. The use of cream cheese and parmesan provides both smoothness and umami depth, while the lemon juice brightens the flavors and balances the richness.
The dish pairs well with simple sides and can be varied by adding quick-cooking vegetables or swapping smoked salmon for enhanced smokiness. Garnishing with herbs, pine nuts, or chili flakes offers further customization. It is a versatile, rich dish that comes together quickly without compromising flavor and texture.

- 250 g gnocchi
- 240 g salmon about 120g/4.2oz each, fillet
