Tuscan Salmon
Tuscan Salmon
Ingredients
▢4 salmon fillets
▢½ teaspoon salt
▢½ teaspoon ground black pepper
▢1 tablespoon olive oil or oil from the
sundried tomato jar
For the cream sauce:
▢1 tablespoon butter
▢4 cloves garlic minced
▢¾ cup sundried tomatoes chopped
▢1 cup heavy cream Note 4
▢1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
▢½ cup parmesan cheese grated
▢¼ cup water if needed to thin out the
sauce
▢¼ teaspoon dried oregano
▢¼ teaspoon dried thyme
▢Salt and pepper to taste
▢3 cups baby spinach leaves
Instructions
Prep the salmon: pat dry with kitchen towels and season with
salt and pepper.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
Add salmon to the pan skin side down, working in batches if
needed to avoid crowding the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes then flip and cook for
3-4 more minutes until fully cooked. It should reach a temperature of
140°F/60°C, a thicker cut will take a little longer. Transfer salmon to a
plate, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
To make the cream sauce:
Melt the butter and add chopped sundried tomatoes, garlic
and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Do not burn the garlic,
cook for just 30 seconds.
Adjust the heat to medium-low, and add the heavy cream,
Dijon mustard, dried herbs, and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the
sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes and thicken (if too thick, add a splash
of water). Season with salt and pepper.
Add the spinach, stir it in and let it wilt in the sauce.
Put the salmon back in the sauce, spoon the sauce over the
salmon. Serve warm over pasta, rice, or with steamed veg.
