Salmon Scampi with Spinach and Tomatoes

This salmon scampi recipe is inspired by the popular dish, shrimp scampi, which is basically a dish of shrimp cooked in garlic, butter and dry white wine. It is normally served over pasta or rice although sometimes can be served by itself. I like this dish because it is another way of cooking salmon, a fish that is a staple at my house. Furthermore, it uses two healthy favorite ingredients of mine; spinach and cherry tomatoes. In this recipe, the salmon pieces were first sauteed in a butter and olive oil mixture. Chopped garlic, spinach and tomatoes were then added and the dish was finished off with a tangy sauce of white wine and lemon juice. This dish is a delicious way of preparing salmon using fresh seasonal ingredients. Hope your family enjoys this salmon dish as much as my family did. Enjoy!
