Description
A delicious and creamy salmon dish with Tuscan flavors, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the salmon through.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor, or toss in some cooked pasta for a complete meal.
