Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 cups of fresh spinach
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

  • Instructions

  • Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

  • Once the salmon is cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, spinach, lemon juice, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Stir gently until the spinach wilts and the mixture is well combined.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
