Introduction
Tender pan-seared salmon fillets smothered in a velvety garlic cream sauce with wilted spinach, juicy cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Served alongside lightly toasted, buttery steamed rice, this dish is vibrant, flavorful, and easy to prepare.
Step 1
Season the salmon fillets evenly on both sides with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil and unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, then fry the salmon fillets for about 4 minutes or until crispy and caramelized.
Step 3
Finely chop the garlic cloves while the fish cooks.
Step 4
Flip the salmon fillets over and cook for another 2 minutes, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pan with the remaining pan drippings, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring until fragrant.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Sear the salmon skin/bottom side without moving it too early to achieve a crisp, golden crust without sticking.
Keep the heat at a gentle simmer after adding heavy cream and cheese to avoid curdling or separating the sauce.
Toasting the rice grains in melted butter before simmering adds a nutty flavor and helps keep the grains separate and fluffy.
