Steps:
- First prepare the salmon by seasoning the fleshy side with salt and pepper. Then, set aside.
- Next, heat your cast iron pan on the stove on a medium heat. Once your cast iron or pan is heated, add in the olive oil and 4 tbsp of butter.
- When the butter has melted, place your salmon into the pan - skin side down first. DO NOT touch or move the salmon around. Leaving the salmon alone will allow the skin to cook and become crispy.
- After about 3 minutes, use your turner to check if the salmon separates from the pan without resistance. If it doesn't, continue to let it cook for another 2 minutes. If you're able to slide and lift the salmon from the pan with nothing sticking, it's time to flip.
- Continue to cook the salmon, flesh side down now, for an additional 3-5 minutes - or until you reach an internal temp of about 140°F. Fahrenheit.
- Remove the salmon from the pan and place onto a serving dish. Next, reduce heat to medium and add shallots and garlic. Saute until fragrant and to this, add the juice from half of a lemon.
- Add in capers, parsley, tomatoes, and white wine and mix well to combine.
- Add remaining 4 tbsp butter and mix. Then lower heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Add spinach and cook until spinach is slightly wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, plate salmon and garnish with lemon slices. Top with sauce and veggies. Serve.
