1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2
Heat a 12-inch high-sided skillet over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat.
3
Place each salmon fillet into the hot pan, making sure there is space between them. Sear the salmon over medium-high heat for 1-3 minutes, depending on their thickness, until a nice brown sear forms on the underside. Flip the salmon and cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4
Transfer the salmon to a plate and keep warm.
5
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for 1 minute, or until some of the tomatoes start to split.
7
Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and black pepper to taste. Let the cream mixture come to a light simmer, about 2-4 minutes.
8
Add 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese and 4 ounces chopped spinach. Continue cooking over medium heat until the cream has thickened somewhat and the spinach has wilted.
9
Stir in 1/2 cup of roughly chopped fresh basil.
10
Return the salmon to the pan and heat it through if necessary.
11
Serve with your choice of pasta, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, or cauliflower rice. You can also serve it on its own with a big green salad.
