Ingredients
- 4 fresh salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes sliced
- 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Onions: In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant and translucent.
- Add Cherry Tomatoes: Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
- Create the Cream Sauce: Gently stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and 2 cups of spinach. Allow the cream to simmer for about 3-4 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
- Combine and Serve: Return the salmon fillets to the skillet. Add the remaining spinach and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Let cook for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the salmon is cooked through. Squeeze lemon juice over the dish before serving. Enjoy your creamy Tuscan salmon with cherry tomatoes alongside your favorite side!
