Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces salmon fillets Fresh and Halal-compliant.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, ensuring they’re well coated for flavor.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  5. Throw in the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes have softened, roughly 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring in the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
  7. Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the fillets. Cook for another minute to warm through.
  8. Plate the salmon and top with fresh basil. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy creation!

Notes

Feel free to swap the salmon with other fish, like tilapia or even chicken, for a delightful twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for about 3 months. Please don't rush the sautéing process to get the fullest flavor.
