Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (skinless or skin-on, about 6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Cream Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Season the Salmon: Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until softened. Stir in spinach until wilted. Pour in cream, then add Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Simmer until creamy.
- Finish the Dish: Return salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over fillets, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with basil before serving.
Notes
- Delicious served over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and omit the Parmesan.
- Enhance with mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes for added flavor.
