Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skinless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge each fillet in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add unsalted butter and let it melt. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a light simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and allow it to wilt in the sauce, about 1 minute.
Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Let the salmon heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Salmone Alla Toscana pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
