Ingredients
  

Salmon and Seasoning
  • 4 fillets salmon fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Creamy Tuscan Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped, drained from oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Method
 

  1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through and flaky. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Remove skillet from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Return salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the salmon to ensure a good sear. Serve with a side of pasta or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
