Transport your taste buds to the sun-kissed hills of Tuscany with this lush, comforting sauté. Fresh salmon and shrimp meld with a fragrant blend of herbs, tomatoes, and creamy Parmesan, creating a dish that's as beautiful to behold as it is delicious to savor.

What you have

• Salmon fillets - 4 (about 6 oz each)
• Shrimp - 1 lb, peeled and deveined

Method

1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets and shrimp with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2: Sear the salmon fillets skin-side down for about 4 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the salmon.
4. Step 4: Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Step 5: Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
6. Step 6: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly.
7. Step 7: Return the salmon and shrimp to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
8. Step 8: Sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
