Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup spinach leaves

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Juice of 1 lemon

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

    Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. (If there's excess oil, feel free to drain a little.)

        Add Vegetables: Stir in cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to blister, then add in the spinach leaves. Cook for 1 minute until wilted.

          Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, followed by the Italian seasoning, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

            Combine: Gently return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them to coat well. Let them warm through for another 2 minutes.

              Serve: Plate the salmon adorned with the sauce and vegetables, garnishing with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finish.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve on a white platter for contrast, drizzling extra creamy sauce over the salmon and arranging the cherry tomatoes around the plate. A sprinkle of additional Parmesan and fresh basil on top will enhance the visual appeal!
