    This salmon recipe is my go-to weeknight meal and my family loves it. It’s easy to make, healthy, and absolutely delicious! I love serving it with creamy mashed potatoes when I make it on the weekends for a restaurant-quality meal.

    Ingredient Notes

    Salmon Fillets – Try to use salmon fillets that are similar in size so they cook at the same rate.

    Tomatoes – I like to use cherry or grape tomatoes for this recipe.

    Spinach – I highly recommend using fresh spinach.

    Chicken Stock – Feel free to use white wine instead.

    ingredients for salmon with tomatoes and spinach.

    Recipe Variations

    • Not a fan of spinach? Use mushrooms instead. You can use any type of fresh veggies you have on hand.
    • Want to add more flavor? Season the salmon fillets with chipotle seasoning or Cajun seasoning.

    Top Tips

    • Season the salmon generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
    • Don’t overcook the salmon. Pan-sear the salmon fillets in olive oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F.
    • Cook the spinach and tomatoes for 15-20 minutes or until the tomatoes burst and are no longer firm.

    Freezer Tips

    Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months or refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it on the stovetop.
