Season the Salmon: Pat fillets dry; season all sides with ¾ tsp salt and ¾ tsp black pepper.
Sear the Salmon: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear salmon skin-side up 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate (it will finish in the sauce).
Sauté the Mushrooms: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter; cook sliced mushrooms 3–4 minutes until browned.
Build the Sauce: Stir in minced garlic (30 sec). Deglaze with ¼ cup white wine or broth; simmer 1 minute. Add ½ cup broth, ¾ cup cream, 1 tsp Dijon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice; simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust salt/pepper.
Wilt the Spinach: Fold in 4 cups baby spinach until just wilted (30–60 sec).
Finish the Salmon: Nestle salmon back into the pan; spoon sauce over and simmer 2–3 minutes until the fish flakes.
Garnish & Serve: Top with 2 tbsp chopped parsley and ½ tsp lemon zest; add a pinch of red-pepper flakes if you like heat. Serve immediately.
