Ingredients

1.5 pound salmon fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 cup yellow onion (chopped)
2 clove garlic (minced)
2 can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
0.5 cup vegetable broth
5 ounce fresh spinach
0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
0.5 teaspoon dried dill
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season salmon with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Stir in the rinsed and drained cannellini beans, vegetable broth, and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
Nestle the salmon fillets into the bean and spinach mixture in the skillet. Cover and cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, chopped fresh parsley, fresh lemon juice, and dried dill in a small bowl to create the herb sauce.
Once salmon is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the salmon and white bean mixture immediately, topped with a generous dollop of the creamy herb sauce.

Notes

For a richer sauce, you can add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the olive oil when cooking the onion. Leftovers can be gently reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop; add a splash of broth if needed to maintain moisture.
