Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down if using skin-on salmon.
  3. Sear the salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned and tender.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce becomes creamy and slightly thickened.
  8. Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic butter sauce over the top.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
  • Serve with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the creamy sauce.
