Ingredients (Serves 3):

  • 3 salmon fillets
  • 2 teaspoons of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) of vegetable broth
  • 5 ounces (150g) of sun-dried tomatoes, drained of oil
  • 1 3/4 cups of heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups of baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions:

  1. For the Tuscan salmon recipe: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then sear them in the hot skillet, starting with the flesh side down, for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Once cooked, remove the salmon fillets from the skillet and set them aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter in the remaining cooking juices. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about one minute. Add the chopped onion and continue to sauté until translucent. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for another 1-2 minutes to enhance their flavors. Then, pour in the vegetable broth and let the sauce simmer until it slightly reduces.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, pour in the heavy cream, and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season the cream sauce with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  4. Add the baby spinach to the sauce and allow it to wilt, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Let the cream sauce simmer for an additional minute until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
  5. Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, sprinkle them with chopped parsley, and spoon the sauce over each fillet. Serve the creamy Tuscan salmon over steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for those following a Keto diet, or with rice or pasta for non-Keto options.
  6. Enjoy! ❤️
