Cooking Instructions

Oil your Skin-On Salmon Fillets (2) all over with Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) . Season both sides with Salt (1 tsp) and Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp) .

Place skin side down into a non stick pan over a medium heat. Now 90 percent of the cooking will be done on the skin side, this will give you a crispy skin but also protect the salmon from becoming dry. Depending on the size of the salmon fillet, you’ll need to cook them anywhere from 7-10 minutes. Once cooked allow to rest on a warm plate.

Leave all the oil in the pan and add Unsalted Butter (1 Tbsp) . Wait for it to foam and then add Garlic (1 tsp) and Cherry Tomatoes (15) . Turn the heat up to a medium high and cook the tomatoes until they start to blister and slightly collapse.

Add in the Fresh Baby Spinach (4 cups) and let it wilt down which should only take 30 seconds. Once wilted, add the Cream (1 cup) , Grated Parmesan Cheese (1 Tbsp) , and Fresh Parsley (4 Tbsp) . Mix well and cook for 2 minutes or until the cream has warmed through and reduced slightly. Finally squeeze over some juice from the Lemon Juice (1/2) and mix through.

To serve, pile the creamy tomato and spinach mixture onto the centre of the plate. Top with the salmon and serve immediately with an extra squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon.
