4 servings
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 pint (10 oz) cherry tomatoes
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 5 oz baby spinach
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the salt and black pepper.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the salmon fillets skin-side up and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the flesh is opaque about halfway up the sides and the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
