Prepare the Salmon:
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the Salmon:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and nearly cooked through.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender.
Add Spinach & Cream:
Add spinach and let it wilt slightly.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir in Parmesan cheese (if using).
Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine:
Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over it.
Let it simmer for another 1–2 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flavors meld.
Serve:
