Ingredients

Scale

  1. 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

  2. 2 tbsp olive oil

  3. 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  4. 4 cloves garlic, minced

  5. 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

  6. 2 cups fresh spinach

  7. 1 cup heavy cream

  8. 1/2 cup chicken broth

  9. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  10. 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  11. 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  12. Salt and black pepper, to taste

  13. Juice of 1/2 lemon

  14. Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.

  • Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  • Make the Sauce: In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

  • Cook Mushrooms & Spinach: Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.

  • Add Creamy Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then whisk in the Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  • Combine: Return the salmon fillets to the pan, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for another 2 minutes to warm through.

 

  • Final Touches: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The red pepper flakes are optional, so feel free to omit them if you prefer a milder dish.

  • You can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a pescatarian version of this dish.

  • For an even creamier texture, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.

 

  • For extra flavor, top with a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan before serving.
