Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients

  • 6 Salmon Fillets (3-4 oz each)(pan seared)(or air fryed)
  • 2 Tsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Onion (diced)
  • 6 Cloves Garlic (minced)
  • ½ Cup White Wine (dry)
  • Cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 8 oz Spinach Leaves (stems removed)(roughly chopped)
  • ¾ Cup Parmesan (grated)
  • Salt and Ground Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the Salmon:

  • Pan-Seared Method: Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the fillets with olive oil. Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove and set aside.

Make the Creamy Tuscan Sauce:

  • In the same skillet (for pan-seared salmon) or a new large skillet (for air-fried salmon), melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until the wine has reduced by half.
  • Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve:

  • Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy Tuscan sauce.
  • Spoon the sauce over the salmon fillets to coat.
  • Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve the Creamy Tuscan Salmon hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
  • Enjoy your delicious Creamy Tuscan Salmon!
