1. **Sear the Salmon**:
– Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon and set aside.
2. **Make the Sauce**:
– In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to burst, about 3-4 minutes. If using red pepper flakes, add them now.
3. **Add Spinach and Cream**:
– Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. If using heavy cream, pour it in now and stir to combine, letting it simmer for a couple of minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. **Combine and Serve**:
– Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Cook for another minute to heat through. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
### Tips
– You can add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
– Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Enjoy your Tuscan salmon!
