Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:

   • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Cook the Salmon:

   • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Creamy Tomato Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

4. Add Cream and Seasoning:

   • Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Incorporate Spinach and Cheese:

   • Add the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts. Mix in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

6. Combine and Serve:

   • Gently return the cooked salmon to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through.

7. Garnish and Enjoy:

   • Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Add lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of flavor if desired.
