Garlic Butter Salmon with Spinach & Mushrooms in Creamy Sauce

Print Recipe

A rich and flavorful dish featuring seared salmon fillets cooked in a creamy garlic butter sauce with sautéed spinach and mushrooms.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1/2 pound mushrooms (oyster or button), 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 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 2-3 minutes until skin is crispy.
  3. Flip salmon, cover loosely with foil, and cook 3-4 minutes until nearly cooked through. Remove salmon and set aside.
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet. Sauté onions and mushrooms for 3 minutes until softened and browned.
  5. Add minced garlic and spinach; cook until garlic is fragrant and spinach begins to wilt.
  6. Pour in white wine and cook 1 minute to evaporate alcohol.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
  8. Return salmon to skillet, nestling into sauce, and cook 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 maintain moistness. The white wine adds depth to the sauce but can be substituted with chicken broth if preferred.
