Description
A quick and creamy salmon dish with cherry tomatoes and spinach, perfect for a 30-minute dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lb salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into large cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (whole + halved)
- 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley (for finishing)
Instructions
- Pat salmon dry and season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon cubes and sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet). Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the skillet and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add cherry tomatoes and cook 2–3 minutes until they start to soften and release juices.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until melted and creamy.
- Add spinach and stir until wilted.
- Return salmon to the skillet and simmer 3–5 minutes until salmon is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
- Sprinkle with fresh basil/parsley and serve hot (great over pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles).
Notes
- Serve over pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
