Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your components for the Creamy Tuscan Salmon. Rinse the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes, then dice the garlic cloves. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering—about 2 minutes.
  3. Sear the Salmon: Cook the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. Then, flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Sauté the Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, then add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach, cooking until wilted—about 2 minutes.
  6. Create the Creamy Sauce: Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth, add Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, then let simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Reintroduce the Salmon: Add the cooked salmon back to the skillet, spooning sauce over each fillet and simmering for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately with optional fresh basil on top. Pair with rice or quinoa.
