CREAMY GARLIC SALMON WITH SPINACH & TOMATOES 🐟🍅

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 salmon fillets (approx. 150–180 g / 5–6 oz each)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8–10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 100 g / 3.5 oz fresh spinach
  • 150 ml / ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 50 ml / 3 tbsp water
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Method:
  2. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sear skin-side down until golden. Flip, cook briefly on the other side, then remove.
  3. In the same pan, add a little more oil and sauté the onion until softened. Add garlic, reduce the heat and cook for another minute.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften. Pour in the water and cream, then add spinach. Stir and simmer until the spinach wilts.
  5. Return the salmon to the pan, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley.
  6. Simmer gently over low heat for 5–10 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or plenty of crusty bread to soak up that creamy sauce!

Tip: Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer so the salmon stays tender and the cream doesn't split.
