Tuscan Salmon (Creamy, Flavorful, One-Pan Dinner)

Introduction

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (skin on or off)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Cooking with Greens Go To Blend (or salt and pepper, to taste)
• 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or a mix of basil, oregano, and thyme)
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Season the salmon with Go To Blend (or salt and pepper) and Italian herbs on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets (skin side down if using) and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add garlic and cherry or sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly.
5. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
6. Return salmon to the pan. Spoon sauce over the fillets and simmer for 1–2 minutes more to heat through.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

Tips & Variations

• Use shrimp or chicken instead of salmon for variety.
