Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cups fresh spinach

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season each side with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.

    Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften.

        Add Spinach and Cream: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly, stirring frequently.

          Incorporate Parmesan: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and well combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

            Finish the Dish: Carefully return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the creamy spinach and tomato mixture over the top. Allow everything to cook together for another 2 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.

              Serve: Plate the Tuscan garlic salmon with a generous spoonful of the creamy tomato spinach sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
