Ingredients
-
4 salmon fillets
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
3 tbsp butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
-
3 cups fresh spinach
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
-
Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Pour in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
-
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top.
-
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the salmon is heated through and coated with the sauce.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
-
You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
-
Serve with rice or mashed potatoes for a more filling meal, or enjoy it on its own for a low-carb option.
-
You can add more garlic or Parmesan cheese if you like a stronger flavor.
