Create a restaurant-quality Creamy Tuscan Salmon featuring tender salmon fillets smothered in a rich garlic cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. This dish comes together quickly for an indulgent weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove salmon and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Add the fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts down, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  9. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the fish.
  10. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through to your liking.
  11. Serve immediately with extra sauce spooned over top.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth if needed.
  • For a tangier sauce, add a splash of white wine before the chicken broth.
  • Ensure your sun-dried tomatoes are oil-packed for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcook the salmon; it should flake easily with a fork.
