Discover how to make a delicious creamy Tuscan salmon in just 30 minutes. This easy yet elegant salmon recipe combines tender fish with a rich, tomato-infused sauce, vibrant spinach, and Parmesan cheese for a perfect weeknight dinner that impresses every time.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they burst, about 2 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
  3. Pour in heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add Parmesan cheese and cook on low until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Return salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over. Simmer for 2 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop, avoiding microwaves to prevent sauce separation.
  • Pair this dish with cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread. For a lighter meal, serve with roasted vegetables or a green salad. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for an extra touch.
