Tuscan Salmon Recipe

Step 1

Season salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.

Step 2

In a large nonreactive skillet over medium heat melt in oil and butter. Once the butter is done foaming, add the salmon fillets, skin side up and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 145°F on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part of the salmon. Transfer the salmon to a platter and tent with foil to rest and keep warm.

Step 3

In the same pan over medium heat, add more oil only if needed then add your sun-dried tomatoes, green onion and minced garlic. Sauté another one minute or until the garlic is fragrant, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Stir in the cream and sprinkle Parmesan over the top bring to a light boil, stirring frequently then reduce the heat and simmer for one minute until the sauce is slightly thickened.

Step 5

Add spinach and stir for 30 seconds or just until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6

Remove the pan from the heat and add the salmon back to the pan and spoon warm sauce over it then garnish with chives if desired and serve.
