Salmon & Creamy Spinach with Mushroom Sauce

Salmon & Creamy Spinach with Mushroom Sauce

This recipe is inspired by the seasonal changes that happen late in the year, and the resulting lack of natural sunlight. As the days grow shorter and the sunlight scarce, I know many of us start to feel the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder, with its pesky brain fog, sleep woes, and mood dips. So, I thought, why not cook our way to a brighter mood? That’s where this Salmon & Creamy Spinach with Mushroom Sauce Recipe comes into play. It’s not just a delicious recipe; it’s a mood lifter, packed with vitamins and amino acids that can help tackle those fall and winter blues. Imagine tender salmon nestled in the most amazing creamy sauce, mingling with fresh spinach and earthy mushrooms – it’s the perfect dish to light up your dining table. And the best part? It makes for a fabulous main course!

How Does It Combat Seasonal Depression?

This dish includes 4 major nutrients that work to stabilize your mood:
  • Omega 3s which prevent inflammation and boost brain function.
  • Vitamin D – Did you know that Vitamin D deficiency is STRONGLY linked to overwhelming feelings of hopelessness? So if you’re not getting it through sunlight, be sure you’re getting it in your food!
  • Vitamin B9 (or Folate) which plays a huge role in producing dopamine for your brain.
  • Tryptophan produces serotonin, which elevates your mood, and melatonin, which leaves you feeling calm. That’s why you’re so sleepy after eating all that Thanksgiving turkey!

The oyster mushrooms and spinach in this dish are packed with Vitamin B9 and the heavy cream is a great source of Vitamin D. But the STAR of this dish is the salmon, which contains all 4 of these key nutrients!

Ingredients:
Salmon & Creamy Spinach With Mushroom Sauce
  • 4 piece salmon filet
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided
  • ½ onion sliced
  • ½ pound oyster mushrooms (or mushroom of your choice) sliced
  • 1 tsp fresh garlic minced

  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt & pepper to taste
