Creamy Garlic Butter Salmon and Spinach

I am not the biggest salmon dinner fan, but I could eat this salmon with spinach
cream sauce every day for the rest of my life and be happy! The garlic cream
sauce adds a nice flavor to the fish that other pan seared salmon recipes do not
have. Very easy salmon recipe even a beginning salmon chef could accomplish.
