Creamy Salmon and Mushrooms

This is an amazing and tasty dinner that comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Salmon Filet (cut into 2 pieces)
  • 1 C Coconut Milk
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 C Baby Spinach
  • 2 Tbsp Onion or 1 Shallot, chopped
  • 1 Clove Garlic, minced
  • ½ C Mushrooms (bella, crimini or shirataki)
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add garlic and shallots. Cook for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue cooking about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft.
  2. Add the lemon juice and stir. Add the coconut milk, thyme and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the salmon gently pressing them into the sauce.
  4. Cover and cook for 7 minutes.
  5. Add the spinach and cook for another 2-4 minutes until salmon is done to your liking.
  6. Divide between 2 large bowls.

Notes

You can add more flavor by adding lemon rind, red pepper flakes, dill or capers. We like garlic so I usually add one more clove to ours.

Serve over cauliflower rice and a side of broccolini. If you are not carb sensitive, you can use regular rice or polenta instead.
