Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down (if using skin) and sear for 4\u20135 minutes until the skin is crispy and the underside is golden. Flip and cook another 2\u20133 minutes, depending on thickness, until just cooked through. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Sauce:<\/strong>\u00a0In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Saut\u00e9 until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the grated Parmesan, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Stir and let the sauce simmer gently for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the Greens &amp; Tomatoes:<\/strong>\u00a0Stir the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes into the sauce. Cook just until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are slightly softened, about 1\u20132 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finish &amp; Serve:<\/strong>\u00a0Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over each fillet. Simmer together for 1\u20132 minutes to warm through and meld flavors. Serve immediately over rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#x23f1; Prep time:<\/strong>&nbsp;10 minutes &nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>&#x23f1;
