Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 filets salmon 5 ounce each
  • to taste salt
  • to taste freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 short sprigs rosemary plus more for garnish
  • cup prosciutto chopped
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes or to taste
  • ½ lemon zest
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 package fresh spinach 10 ounce, torn
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling, or as needed
  • lemon slices
  • pine nuts lightly toasted, optional

Instructions
 

  • Pat salmon filets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add olive oil. When butter stops sizzling, swirl the skillet to combine. Add 2 or 3 rosemary sprigs to the skillet, to flavor the oil.
  • Add salmon and cook until salmon is lightly browned and flakes when a fork is gently inserted, about 3 minutes per side. (If salmon filets are thinner than 1 ½ inches, this may take less time.) An instant read thermometer, inserted near the center, should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from the skillet, and keep warm.
  • To the same skillet with rosemary, add chopped prosciutto, green onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest, and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • Add white wine and cook until the liquid evaporates. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Add spinach and toss in the skillet until bright green and barely wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in cream, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until sauce bubbles, about 2 minutes, and remove cooked rosemary sprigs.
  • Serve salmon on a bed of vegetables and sauce, and drizzle with a little olive oil. Garnish with lemon slices, fresh rosemary sprigs, and toasted pine nuts, if desired.

Notes

To toast pine nuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread pine nuts onto a baking sheet; toast in the preheated oven until beginning to turn golden brown and becoming fragrant, about 7 minutes.
