Preparing the Salmon

Grill the Salmon
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cooking the Spinach

Sauté the Spinach
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Making the Creamy Sauce

Prepare the Sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, cream cheese, and minced garlic over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
