Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add salmon fillets, skin-side down.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and just cooked through, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for about a minute until fragrant—don’t let it burn.
- Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes, then stir in spinach and let it wilt gently.
- Pour in heavy cream, stirring to combine and scraping up any bits from the pan.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed.
- Return salmon to the skillet, spoon the creamy sauce over the top, and let it all simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
