- 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)
- ⅓ 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)
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!
