Description
Garlic Butter Salmon with Spinach and Mushrooms in Creamy Sauce is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines tender salmon fillets with a rich garlic butter sauce, fresh spinach, and mushrooms.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk or a dairy-free alternative.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
