One of the best things about this Tuscan Salmon recipe is just how easy it is to make. Simple ingredients, nothing fancy but incredible flavor.
Salmon Filets
Minced garlic
Yellow Onion
Vegetable or Chicken Broth
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Heavy Cream
Spinach
Grated Parmesan
Step One: Place the salmon in the hot skillet with the olive oil and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn the fish and then cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until the salmon is cooked. Remove the salmon from the pan and place in a dish to set aside.
Step Two: In the same skillet, melt the butter and then add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the onion, stir together and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft. Next, add the sun dried tomatoes (drain the oil from the jar before adding the tomatoes) and cook with the onions for another 1-2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stir and leave the sauce to reduce a bit. About 5 minutes.
Step Three: Turn the heat to low, then add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir and allow sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens. About 10-15 minutes. Add the spinach to the sauce. Spinach will start to wilt and then add the parmesan cheese and stir everything together until parmesan is melted.
Step Four: Add the salmon filets back into the sauce and then serve! Be sure to spoon lots of the sauce with the salmon plus a pasta, rice or veggie side. Easy dinner!
Honestly, you could eat this Creamy Tuscan Salmon all on its own. It’s so creamy with incredible flavor. But my favorite way to serve this recipe is with penne pasta. The noodles get coated in that creamy garlic sauce and it’s the best little bite.
This is a great dish to serve with any kind of pasta, rice or next to a big serving of fresh veggies. Basically this sauce is the real winner and pairs with most things really well.
