Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish optional
Instructions
- Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic and Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking until the spinach wilts.
