How do I make it?

- Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the pan. Add garlic, and cook for 1 minute, then add cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, or until the tomatoes are starting to split. Add spinach and cook until it starts to wilt. Pour in cream, stir and then add Parmesan, basil and parsley. Bring to a simmer, then drop the heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add salmon back to the pan and cook until the salmon is heated through.
- Serve immediately.
