Instructions
Creating your own Creamy Tuscan Salmon is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Salmon: Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Mix in Tomatoes and Spinach: Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the spinach wilts.
7. Incorporate Cheese: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.
8. Return Salmon: Place the cooked salmon back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
