Ingredients:

2 salmon fillets

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

2 cups fresh spinach

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra richness)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp paprika (optional)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

 

‍ Instructions:

1. Prep the salmon:
Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Sear the salmon:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon, skin-side down, and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the creamy sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

4. Sauté veggies:
Add mushrooms and cook until browned (about 3–4 minutes). Add spinach and stir until wilted.

5. Add cream:
Pour in heavy cream and Parmesan (if using). Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently until sauce thickens.

6. Bring back the salmon:
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 1–2 minutes more.

7. Serve:
Plate salmon with creamy mushrooms and spinach. Add lemon wedges on the side.

 

️ Serving Suggestion:

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up that sauce. Enjoy!
