- 4 pieces salmon fillet
- salt and pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3-4 sun-dried tomatoes
packed in oil, sliced

Directions
- 1
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel all over to remove excess moisture. Season salmon with salt and pepper, heat the olive oil together with butter in a frying pan, then sear the salmon over medium high heat until golden and the skin side is crispy, starting with the skin side up. This should take approximately 6-7 minutes. The salmon doesn’t have to be cooked all the way through at this point. Remove the salmon to a plate until later.

To the same pan add the garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes, sauté for about 30 seconds over very low heat, then deglaze the pan with the white wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced by a half.

About this Recipe
Craving a dinner that feels elegant but comes together quickly? This Tuscan Salmon with Parmesan Cream Sauce delivers restaurant-quality flavors right to your home, transforming simple ingredients into something truly special.
What makes this recipe a standout is its vibrant blend of creamy richness and bright, savory notes. The perfectly pan-seared salmon develops a beautiful crust, providing a delightful contrast to the velvety Parmesan cream sauce infused with aromatic garlic, sweet sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach. It’s a harmonious balance that makes every bite a pleasure.
Prepare for a truly comforting and satisfying meal. You'll experience tender, flaky salmon nestled in a luxurious, savory sauce that clings to every piece. The sun-dried tomatoes add a concentrated burst of sweet-tart flavor, while the fresh spinach wilts down to provide a touch of earthiness and color. It's a dish that feels indulgent yet surprisingly approachable for any home cook looking to elevate their weeknight menu.
Feel free to customize this Tuscan-inspired dish to your liking. While salmon is superb here, you could easily swap it for chicken breast or another firm white fish. If you don't have dry white wine on hand, a good quality chicken or vegetable broth makes an excellent substitute. For a different green, consider using a handful of chopped kale, just be sure to let it simmer a little longer to soften.
This Tuscan Salmon makes an impressive centerpiece for a cozy dinner party or a delightful treat for a special weeknight meal. Serve it alongside a simple pasta, fluffy rice, or with some crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that incredible sauce.
