Tuscan Butter Salmon
Tuscan Butter Salmon
Mike says that this is the best salmon dish that he has ever eaten. Delicious salmon with creamy, cheesy tomato and spinach. Definitely worth trying!
Ingredients:
4 6 oz salmon fillets
1 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup herbs (basil & parsley)
1 lemon wedge
Black pepper, freshly ground
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
How to Make It
In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat oil. Season salmon all over with salt & pepper. When oil is shimmering but not smoking add salmon skin side up and cook until deeply golden, about 6 minutes. Flip over and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add butter. When butter has melted stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt & pepper. Cook until tomatoes are beginning to burst and then add spinach and cook until spinach is beginning to wilt.
Stir in heavy cream, parmesan and herbs and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
Return salmon back to skillet and spoon over sauce. Simmer until salmon is cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
Garnish with more herbs and squeeze lemon on top before serving.
