Instructions

1
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through and flaky. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
2
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Add diced onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
4
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper, or to taste.
5
Add fresh spinach to the sauce, a handful at a time, stirring until it wilts completely. This should take only 2-3 minutes.
6
Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, nestling them gently into the creamy Tuscan sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the salmon. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen salmon fillets?

Yes, just ensure they are fully thawed and patted very dry before searing to get a good crust. Cooking times might vary slightly.

What can I serve with Tuscan salmon?

This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or a simple side salad to soak up the delicious sauce.

How can I lighten up the sauce?

You can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a slightly lighter sauce, though it won't be as rich. You could also increase the chicken broth and reduce cream slightly.
