A fast and elegant dish featuring pan-seared salmon in a rich garlic butter sauce with cherry tomatoes and spinach.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups spinach
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Sear the salmon skin-side down for 4–5 minutes until the skin is deeply golden and crisp.
  4. Flip the fillets and cook another 3–4 minutes until the center is opaque.
  5. Remove the salmon and set aside.
  6. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, scrape up browned bits, and stir in minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
  7. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  8. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  9. Return the salmon to the skillet, squeeze lemon juice over everything, and serve with garlic-butter sauce.

Notes

Use all olive oil instead of butter for a lighter version. This dish pairs well with roasted potatoes or garlic butter rice.
