Cooking Steps
  1. Gather all your ingredients: fresh salmon fillets, garlic, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and heavy cream.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then cook skin-side down for 4-5 minutes.
  4. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it easily flakes with a fork.
  5. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Lower the heat and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute, then add cherry tomatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Stir in fresh spinach and allow it to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, then gradually add Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
  9. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  10. Return salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and reheat for another 2 minutes.
  11. Simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
  12. Garnish with fresh basil and serve over rice, quinoa, or alongside roasted vegetables.
