Salmon and Spinach Gratin

Salmon and Spinach Gratin
Tender salmon and crab claws nestle in wilted spinach beneath a rich cream sauce topped with a buttery golden crust. Elegant enough for guests yet simple for weeknights, this dish balances flaky fish and earthy greens without overpowering either. Ready in under 40 minutes, it disappears fast—so double the batch if feeding a crowd.
