How to Make Creamy Garlic Butter Salmon
Sear the salmon:
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place salmon skin-side down (if skin on) and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through. Remove salmon and set aside.
Sauté mushrooms and garlic:
In the same skillet, add remaining butter. Toss in mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add spinach:
Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Make the creamy sauce:
Pour in heavy cream and sprinkle Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
