Creamy Garlic Mushroom Salmon: A Restaurant-Style Delight! 🐟🍄
Experience an exquisite taste of creamy garlic mushroom sauce perfectly paired with salmon fillets. This dish brings gourmet flavors to your home kitchen in just one pan!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
1. Begin by seasoning the salmon fillets with paprika, salt, and black pepper for extra flavor.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. After cooking, remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a plate to rest.
3. In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until they soften and become slightly browned.
5. Next, mix in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts down, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Keep simmering for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce generously over each piece. Allow everything to simmer together for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
8. Serve this creamy garlic mushroom salmon hot with your favorite side dish, like fluffy mashed potatoes or rice, for a complete meal. Enjoy every bite!
