While the salmon is browning, prepare the other ingredients, especially the rice. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Be patient at this stage, everything is going well!

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside with the skin facing up. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

Add the whole wheat flour to the pan and whisk it together with the garlic and butter. Cook for 1 minute. This is a great step for the base of the sauce.

Slowly add the room temperature whole milk and chicken broth to the pan, whisking for about 2 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Turn off the heat and add the parmesan cheese to the pan. Whisk together until the sauce combines and slightly thickens. You can add spinach at this stage if you like.
