Prepare the ingredients. Prepare your ingredients. Optionally preheat the oven (you can finish the salmon in a pan or in the oven)

Season the salmon. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season it on both sides with salt and pepper.

Prepare the herb butter. Finely chop the herbs you have and mix them with the softened butter, half of the pressed garlic, the herbs, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt; place the mixture in the refrigerator to firm up.

Sear and finish the salmon. Prepare a pan with oil and preheat the oven to 140 C. Sear the salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes over medium heat, then turn it over and finish for 2-3 minutes in the oven. Or finish it on the other side in the pan

Add the garlic. In the same pan, add the other half of the pressed garlic and a little oil if needed.

Add the spinach. As soon as the garlic becomes fragrant, add the fresh spinach.

Saute the spinach. Saute for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish the salmon and serve. Place a slice of herb butter on the finished salmon and let it slowly melt, then serve
