Method

How to Make Tuscan Butter Salmon
  1. Begin by patting your salmon fillets thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat until it's hot enough to sear.
  3. Add the salmon fillets to the hot pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
  5. In the same pan, melt butter or heat olive oil over medium heat.
  6. Sauté minced garlic in the melted butter until fragrant.
  7. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook them briefly.
  8. Pour in your heavy cream and let it simmer gently until it slightly thickens.
  9. Stir in the fresh spinach, cooking just until wilted.
  10. Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
  11. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  12. Return the salmon to the pan to warm through or pour the sauce over the salmon.
  13. Garnish your Tuscan Butter Salmon with fresh parsley or basil.
