Tuscan Salmon Recipe
Tuscan Salmon Recipe. This Mediterranean-inspired delight combines the richness of salmon with the vibrancy of sun-dried tomatoes and creamy parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 salmon fillets
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves garlic finely diced
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 80 ml vegetable broth
- 150 g jarred sun-dried tomato in oil drained
- 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and sear them in the pan for 5 minutes on each side. Once done, remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the butter in the leftover cooking juices. Add the garlic and fry until fragrant. Stir in the onion and sun-dried tomatoes, and cook until the onion becomes translucent. Pour in the vegetable broth and reduce the sauce slightly.
- Reduce heat, add the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- Add the baby spinach to the sauce and let it wilt. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let the sauce simmer until the cheese melts.
