Ingredients you need for the Creamy Tuscan Salmon
3salmon fillets2 teaspoons olive oil2 tablespoons butter5 cloves garlic, finely diced1 small yellow onion, diced1/3 cup (80ml)vegetable broth5 ounces (150g) jarred sun-dried tomato in oil, drained of oil1 3/4 cups heavy creamSalt and pepper, to taste3 cups baby spinach leaves1/2 cup grated Parmesan1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
1. To make the Tuscan salmon recipe: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon filets on both sides with salt and pepper, and sear in the hot pan, flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once salmon filets are cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
2. In the same pan, melt the butter in the remaining cooking juices leftover. Add in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about one minute). Add onion and stir fry until translucent. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes so they release their flavors. Finally, pour in the vegetable broth, and allow the sauce to reduce down slightly.
3. Reduce heat to low, add the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Season the cream sauce with salt and pepper to your taste.
4. Add in the baby spinach and allow to wilt in the sauce, and add in the parmesan cheese. Allow the cream sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through.
5. Add the grilled salmon filets back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and spoon the sauce over each filet. Serve the creamy Tuscan salmonover steamed veg or cauliflower rice for Keto dieters, or rice or pasta for non-Keto. Enjoy!❤️

Tips for buying and cooking salmon
- Try to buy wild-caughtsalmonwhen possible. It’s loaded with nutrients that are hard to come by elsewhere and not treated with antibiotics.
- Look for thicker, more center-cut pieces of salmon, as they’ll cook more evenly and have better flavor!
How to cook salmon
You can cook salmon in many ways: pan-seared, grilled, baked, roasted, smoked(!), baked in parchment paper, or in foil packets. Make sure not to overcook salmon when you cook it on the stove because it can become dry.
If pan-searing salmon, use a good quality non-stickpan.Take the time to bring the salmon fillets at room temperature.This helps to make sure the salmon cooks evenly and gets a nice crust. Be careful when flipping the salmon fillets.Too much flipping may cause the salmon fillets to break up. So let the salmon fillets cook properly on one side (usually the skinless side first) before flipping it onto the other side.
What sides to serve with Salmon
Salmon can accommodate a large choice of sides. Roasted veggies tend to have a place of choice with salmon when served in restaurants. Try roasted asparagus for the strong contrasting flavor, teamed up with mashed potatoes, and a roasted lemon on the side. Other good sides for salmon are:
- Mashed potatoes
- French potatoes
- Brown Rice
- Pasta
- Any sauteed vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, or broccoli.
How long to keep cooked salmon leftovers
Cooked salmon will usually last up to 2 days in the refrigerator if stored properly in an airtight container. You can also keep frozen cooked salmon for up to 1 month.
