Pan Seared Salmon with Creamy Spinach and Tomatoes

olive oil

salmon

salt

pepper

TB butter

garlic,

c. cherry tomatoes, halved

c. fresh baby spinach

heavy cream

c. Parmesan cheese, grated

TB chopped Italian parsley

basil

Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the salmon. When the oil is shimmering, place one salmon fillet skin side down and gently press on the top with a flexible spatula to keep the salmon from shrinking for 15-20 seconds. Repeat for every fillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook all of them for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon changes color (gets paler) about two-thirds up the sides for an internal temperature of 120°F. Flip and cook for another 60 seconds. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Add butter and deglaze the pan (scrape up brown bits from the salmon, if any). Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and not burned. Add the cherry tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to burst. Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 minute, or until wilted.

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan and Italian parsley. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Place the salmon back in the skillet and garnish each with a leaf of fresh basil. Spoon the sauce on top and cook for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately on a bed of lemon rice or roasted veggies.

This was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

This was excellent. My family loved it. I would serve to company as well. One question though, at what point do you take the skin off the salmon? I took it off before adding it back to the pan, but not sure if this was the best time.

This was so simple and delicious! Thank you. I only had frozen spinach but it worked perfectly. My husband and I enjoyed it very much, and I enjoyed being able to make something special in just a few minutes!

I made it. It was marvellous. Simple and delicious!
