Tuscan Salmon Recipe

Nolan Clark

Report

Tuscan salmon in a sun-dried tomato and garlic cream sauce tastes like fine dining, but it’s really easy to make. The salmon is pan-seared producing crisp edges that seal in a tender, flaky and juicy center. Every bite has so much flavor! Pair this versatile salmon with mashed potatoes, white rice, pasta, quinoa or spaghetti squash – there are so many options!

Instructions

Season salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
In a large nonreactive skillet over medium heat melt in oil and butter. Once the butter is done foaming, add the salmon fillets, skin side up and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 145°F on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part of the salmon. Transfer the salmon to a platter and tent with foil to rest and keep warm.
In the same pan over medium heat, add more oil only if needed then add your sun-dried tomatoes, green onion and minced garlic. Sauté another one minute or until the garlic is fragrant, stirring constantly.
Stir in the cream and sprinkle Parmesan over the top bring to a light boil, stirring frequently then reduce the heat and simmer for one minute until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Add spinach and stir for 30 seconds or just until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the salmon back to the pan and spoon warm sauce over it then garnish with chives if desired and serve.
