Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 salmon fillets
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 cups fresh spinach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
\u00bd cup heavy cream
\u00bc cup chicken broth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp fresh thyme (or \u00bd tsp dried)
Salt & black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sear the Salmon \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saut\u00e9 the Mushrooms & Spinach \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prepare the Sauce \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combine & Serve \u2013 Return the salmon to the pan, spooning the creamy sauce over the fillets. Serve hot with your favorite side\u2014mashed potatoes, rice, or a light salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a lighter version of this dish, you can substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk, which imparts a subtle tropical flavor while still creating a luxuriously creamy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re not a fan of mushrooms, asparagus or sun-dried tomatoes make for an excellent replacement, adding a different texture and a bright, tangy note to the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To completely transform the protein, the salmon can be easily swapped for chicken breasts or even large shrimp; just be sure to adjust the searing time accordingly to ensure they are cooked through without becoming tough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
