Easy Restaurant-Style Creamy Salmon with Garlic & Spinach

Ingredients: Chocolate cake

• Skinless salmon fillets – 2
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil – 2 tbsp
• Garlic cloves – 2
• Butter – 1 tbsp
• Cherry tomatoes – 150g
• Spinach – 2 handfuls
• Heavy cream – 120ml
• Grated parmesan cheese – 30g
• Chopped basil & parsley – 2 tbsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Gently rub the skinless salmon fillets with salt and pepper, ensuring both sides are coated for maximum flavour.
• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the salmon and pan-fry for approximately 6 minutes until a beautiful, golden-brown crust has formed.
• Flip the salmon and continue to cook for about 4 minutes more, or until it reaches your desired internal temperature (it should flake easily with a fork).
• Transfer the cooked pan-seared salmon to a clean plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan and add the sliced garlic. Sauté until the garlic turns a light golden-brown and becomes wonderfully fragrant.
• Add the halved cherry tomatoes, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
• Add the spinach and stir the mixture frequently until the spinach begins to wilt.
• Pour in the heavy cream.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and the fresh chopped parsley and basil.
• Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for approximately 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The creamy garlic sauce should thicken slightly and coat the back of a spoon.
• Carefully return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, nesting them into the luxurious garlic tomato cream sauce.
• Allow the dish to simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to let the salmon absorb the incredible flavours of the sauce.
• Enjoy this spectacular creamy salmon dinner immediately!
