Ingredients
- 3 fresh salmon fillets
- 2 teaspoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 5 cloves of garlic, finely diced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/3 cup (80ml) of vegetable broth
- 5 ounces (150g) of jarred sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 1 3/4 cups of heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, according to taste
- 3 cups of baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- For the Tuscan-style salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear the fillets in the hot pan, starting with the flesh side down, for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, set the salmon aside.
- In the same pan, melt butter in the remaining cooking juices. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about one minute). Stir in the diced onion and cook until translucent. Introduce the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes to enhance their flavors. Pour in the vegetable broth, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
- Reduce the heat to low, pour in the heavy cream, and bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Season the cream sauce with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Add the baby spinach, allowing it to wilt in the sauce, and incorporate the Parmesan cheese. Let the cream sauce simmer for an additional minute until the cheese melts.
- Return the seared salmon fillets to the pan, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and spoon the sauce over each fillet. Serve the creamy Tuscan salmon over steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for Keto enthusiasts, or with rice or pasta for those not following Keto. Enjoy!
