Creamy Garlic Butter Salmon with Spinach & Mushrooms 🐟🧄🥬
📋 Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup chicken broth
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Sear the Salmon – Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and black pepper. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms & Spinach – In the same pan, melt butter and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
3️⃣ Prepare the Sauce – Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
4️⃣ Combine & Serve – Return the salmon to the pan, spooning the creamy sauce over the fillets. Serve hot with your favorite side—mashed potatoes, rice, or a light salad.
