Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

• 20 whole cherry tomatoes

• 700g salmon fillet

• 300g fresh organic spinach

• 1 tbsp butter

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

2. Add butter to a medium oven-proof sauté pan and heat over medium-high heat.

3. Rinse salmon, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.

4. When the butter has melted, place the salmon skin-side up and cook for 2–3 minutes without turning.

5. Add cherry tomatoes to the pan around the fish and cook for another 2 minutes.

6. Flip the salmon.

7. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until done — 2 minutes for medium-rare or 4 minutes for medium-well.

8. In the final minute, place spinach leaves over the salmon so they wilt gently.

9. Serve by layering spinach on plates, topping with salmon and roasted tomatoes.
