Description

A symphony of flavors featuring buttery salmon enriched with a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce and fresh spinach, bringing the essence of Tuscany to your table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the salmon fillets, then place skin-side down in the skillet.
  3. Sear for 4-5 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the fillets and let them rest.
  5. Sauté the garlic in the same skillet with the butter until fragrant.
  6. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, then fold in spinach until wilted.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing to a gentle simmer.
  8. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts into a sauce.
  9. Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

Allow salmon to come to room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Make-ahead tips include preparing the sauce a few hours in advance.
