Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh spinach
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter.
Sear salmon fillets skin-side down for 2–3 minutes until golden. Flip and transfer to oven.
Add cherry tomatoes and garlic to the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until blistered.
Return salmon to the pan, add spinach, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bake 10–12 minutes.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use skin-on salmon for crisp texture.
Substitute steelhead trout for salmon if desired.
For dairy-free: use vegan butter or ghee.
Cherry tomatoes release less moisture than larger varieties, maintaining a saucy texture.
Toss spinach in garlic butter sauce after baking for extra richness.
