Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Tuscan Salmon
  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Creamy Tuscan Salmon. Mince the garlic, halve the cherry tomatoes, and keep the spinach nearby.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in the tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Season the four salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper, then gently place them skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown.
  4. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they soften.
  5. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for just about 1-2 minutes until it wilts down.
  6. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well-combined.
  7. Combine: Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the creamy sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over each fillet to coat them evenly.
  8. Cook Briefly: Allow the dish to simmer gently for an additional 2-3 minutes to let all the ingredients meld their flavors together beautifully.
  9. Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve your Creamy Tuscan Salmon immediately.
