Tuscan Marry Me Salmon is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of salmon with a creamy sauce, cherry tomatoes, and spinach, making it a perfect centerpiece for any dinner table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat over medium heat. Add the seasoned salmon fillets and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Substitute the salmon with chicken breasts for a different protein option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
