Description
This creamy Tuscan salmon dish features tender fillets in a silky Parmesan and cream sauce with cherry tomatoes and spinach, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove salmon and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté until fragrant and tomatoes soften, about 2–3 minutes. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
- Stir in heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, about 2–4 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over each fillet. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to warm through.
Notes
Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice to catch the sauce. Pairs well with roasted asparagus or a green salad.
