butter
cherry tomatoes

parsely

To make this tuscan salmon you’ll first start off by seasoning the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Then saute them in a hot pan with olive oil. Start with the flesh side down then flip over and cook the side with skin. You only want to cook both sides just until they brown and the edges are crispy. Remove from the pan as they will continue to cook later in the cream sauce. To that same pan add some more butter and saute the garlic just until it becomes fragrant; then add your onions and cook until translucent.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes. Then add the heavy cream reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce. At this point give the sauce a taste and if you need to add more salt and black pepper do so. Then add the parmesan cheese. Once the cheese melts add in the spinach and cook until the spinach wilts. Add the salmon fillets back to the pan with the sauce and allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes. That’s it! How easy was that? Check out the recipe below!
