Ingredients & Their Roles
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless): The star of the dish, rich in omega-3s and buttery flavor.
- 2 tablespoons butter: Forms the luxurious base for the garlic sauce, adding richness.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil: Prevents the butter from burning while searing the salmon.
- 4 cloves garlic (minced): The key flavor booster that infuses the dish with savory aroma.
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced): Adds an earthy, meaty texture that complements the salmon.
- 2 cups fresh spinach: Provides color, nutrients, and a fresh contrast to the buttery sauce.
- ½ teaspoon paprika: Adds a gentle smokiness and enhances the salmon’s golden color.
- Salt and black pepper: Essential for balance and seasoning.
- Juice of ½ lemon: Brightens and balances the richness of the butter.
- Fresh parsley (chopped): A fresh garnish for a vibrant finishing touch.
