Ingredients

4 Salmon Fillets skin removed
Salt & Pepper for seasoning the fish
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Butter
3 cups Spinach
4 oz. Bella Mushrooms sliced
1 Garlic Clove minced
1 tsp. Butter
1/4 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, sliced
1 cup Cream
1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp. Cream Cheese

Instructions

Remove the skin side of the salmon by using a sharp knife to slice and remove it. If using one large salmon fillet, slice into individual pieces. Then, season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil to medium-high heat. Allow it to sear for a few minutes or so, depending on the thickness. Once it has a good sear, flip and repeat with the other side. Remove the cooked salmon from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tbsp of butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté at medium heat for about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook until brown. Set aside.
Add the fresh spinach to the same pan and move it around frequently. Remove from the pan just as it starts to wilt and set aside.
Next, in the same pan, add the cream cheese and heavy cream and mix with a whisk. Then, add in the parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously at medium heat until the sauce thickens and would coat the back of a spoon.
Add the spinach and mushrooms back into the pan. Add the salmon fillets and then add the sun dried tomatoes. Allow to heat through and serve. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley if you have it on hand. Enjoy!

Notes

If the sauce is too thin for your liking, add more Parmesan cheese a tablespoon at a time.
