Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets Use skin-on for extra crisp
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is best
- 3 cloves Garlic Minced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes Halved
- 4 cups Spinach Fresh
- 1/4 cup Fresh basil Chopped for garnish

Instructions
Preparation
- Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter.
- Add the salmon fillets and sear them for about 4–5 minutes on each side, until they’re fully cooked. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté it for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Toss in cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are soft.
- Pour in heavy cream and sprinkle in the parmesan cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over to coat.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can omit the parmesan and substitute fresh spinach with kale. To enhance flavor, marinate salmon in lemon juice before cooking.
