For best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the salmon. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the salmon, cook in batches if necessary. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as kale or Swiss chard, for the spinach. A splash of lemon juice can brighten the sauce at the end. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Swirl the skillet to combine. Add the rosemary sprigs to infuse the oil with their aroma. (3 minutes)
03
StepCarefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Cook until the salmon is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 145°F (63°C). Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside to keep warm. (8 minutes)
04
StepTo the same skillet with the rosemary-infused oil, add the chopped prosciutto, green onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour in the white wine and cook until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. (3 minutes)
06
StepAdd the cherry tomato halves and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened slightly and released their juices. (5 minutes)
07
StepAdd the chopped spinach to the skillet and toss until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes. (5 minutes)
08
StepStir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the rosemary sprigs. (5 minutes)
09
StepTo serve, spoon the Tuscan-inspired vegetable mixture onto plates and top with the pan-seared salmon fillets. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Garnish with lemon slices, fresh rosemary sprigs, and toasted pine nuts, if using.
