Description
A rich and creamy salmon dish infused with Tuscan flavors, perfect for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a fresh, zesty flavor.
