Print Recipe

A rich and flavorful dish featuring salmon fillets cooked in a creamy garlic butter sauce with sautéed spinach and mushrooms, perfect for a comforting yet elegant meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1/2 pound oyster mushrooms or mushrooms of choice, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves, loosely packed
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until skin is crispy.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, flip salmon, cover loosely with foil, and cook for 3-4 minutes until nearly cooked through. Remove salmon and set aside.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onions and mushrooms, cook for 3 minutes until softened and browned.
  5. Add minced garlic and spinach, sauté until garlic is fragrant and spinach begins to wilt.
  6. Pour in white wine, cook for 1 minute to evaporate alcohol.
  7. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper.
  8. Return salmon to skillet, nestle into sauce, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until salmon is fully cooked and spinach is bright green.

Notes

For best results, use fresh salmon fillets and do not overcook to keep the fish moist. The white wine adds depth to the sauce but can be omitted if preferred. Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
