1
Prepare the Ingredients
Clean and slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the shallots. Rinse the spinach and pat it dry.
2
Season the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

3
Sear the Salmon
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until they are translucent. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown.
5
Add Spinach and Sauce
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the lobster sauce and stir to combine, cooking for an additional minute.
6
Combine and Serve
Return the seared salmon to the skillet to warm through for 1 minute. Serve the salmon topped with the mushroom and spinach mixture, drizzled with additional lobster sauce if desired.
