Add mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes and reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and cook for one more minute. Add cream, reduce heat to simmer and cook until cream thickens. Add parsley and nutmeg, cooking for 1 more minute.
To serve: Spoon sauce over filets. You can serve the salmon with the bacon or you can remove and discard the bacon for a more elegant presentation.
