Dice the onion and mince the garlic
Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the sun-dried tomatoes
Generously salt and pepper both sides of the salmon
Heat a deep sauté pan with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering but not burning
Place the salmon skin side down and sear for approximately 5 minutes per side, until crisp on top and bottom and cooked through
Remove the salmon from the pan using tongs and set aside on a plate
Wipe the sauté pan clean as needed, being careful as it will be hot
Heat olive oil and butter in the pan until shimmering, not burning
Add onion and garlic and sauté
Add cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and basil, stirring to combine
Simmer until the cherry tomatoes blister, covering the pan for a few minutes if needed to speed up the process
Add the vegetable broth and heavy cream, stir to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer
Add the Parmesan cheese and fresh spinach, stirring to combine, and let the spinach wilt in the sauce
Add the seared salmon back into the sauce and spoon some sauce over each piece
Let the salmon warm through before serving
Serve alongside roasted potatoes, garlic bread, or a fresh salad, or enjoy it over gluten-free pasta
You're all done!
Enjoy your creamy tuscan salmon — and don't forget to share.
Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
- No heavy cream? Use half-and-half for a thinner but still creamy sauce.
- No fresh spinach? Use frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, in place of the 2 cups fresh.
- No fresh parsley for garnish? Use 2 teaspoons dried parsley instead.
Storing it
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, since this is a seafood dish. Reheat gently on the stove until steaming hot.
Making it ahead
The sauce base (onion, garlic and tomatoes) can be made a day ahead and refrigerated, then reheated with the cream and spinach before adding the seared salmon.
