Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Let it bubble and begin to brown slightly for extra flavor.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they soften and start to release their juices.
- Stir in the spinach and Italian seasoning. Cook until the spinach has wilted and everything is beautifully combined.
- Return the salmon to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and heat for another minute to warm through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Pair with a light arugula salad or creamy risotto. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
