Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Halve the cherry tomatoes, mince the garlic, and have the spinach washed and drained.
