Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 salmon fillets
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
5 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable broth
5 ounces (150g) jarred sun-dried tomato in oil, drained of oil
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:
Directions:
1. 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.

Tips for the Tuscan salmon recipe

This Tuscan salmon recipe is so easy, quick to cook, and ready in under 20 minutes or less! Crispy and flaky salmon is smothered in a creamy garlic butter spinach and sun-dried tomato sauce. The creamy garlic sauce is restaurant-quality and keeps the salmon fillets tender and moist on the inside.

The key to obtaining a perfectly creamy sauce is to gently simmer the sauce to avoid separating and curdling
For more flavor, you can add a dash of white wine instead of using only vegetable broth.

Feel free to substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth or water. If you don’t have salmon available, substitute salmon for trout, cod, or even tilapia.
