A creamy and comforting salmon gnocchi dish featuring tender chunks of salmon, pillowy gnocchi, and a rich, flavorful sauce. Perfect for a quick yet indulgent weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound (450 g) potato gnocchi
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce cook for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Add the gnocchi to the pan and cook according to package instructions, allowing them to absorb the sauce.
  5. Gently add the salmon chunks and cook for 3–4 minutes until just cooked through.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute salmon with smoked salmon for a deeper flavor.
  • Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
  • Add lemon zest or juice for extra freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the salmon.
