Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 Salmon Fillets (6oz ea.)
1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
3 tablespoon Butter
3 cloves Garlic
1.5 cups Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
2 cups Baby Spinach
.5 cup Heavy Cream
.25 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan
.25 cup Chopped Herbs (e.g. Basil/Parsely)
4 wedges Lemon (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season salmon all over with salt and pepper. When oil is shimmering but not smoking, add salmon skin side up and cook until deeply golden, about 6 minutes. Flip over and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add butter. When butter has melted, stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes are beginning to burst, then add spinach. Cook until spinach is beginning to wilt.
  • Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, and herbs and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
  • Return salmon back to skillet and spoon over sauce. Simmer until salmon is cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
  • Garnish with more herbs and squeeze lemon on top before serving.
