Flip and cook the other side 3 minutes until nearly cooked through, then lift onto a plate. ~{3%minutes}

Add the remaining butter to the same pan with the mushrooms and @garlic{2%clove}, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. ~{4%minutes}

Pour in the @soy sauce{3%tbsp} and swirl it through the mushrooms and butter until it bubbles into a glossy sauce, about 30 seconds. ~{30%seconds}

Return the salmon to the pan, spoon the @mushroom{300%g}-butter sauce over the top, and scatter with @spring onion{2%stalk} before serving.
