Ingredients
Salmon
- 3 filets salmon (totaling 1 - 1.5 lb)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Tuscan Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ white onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pint grape tomatoes can substitute with cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup half and half can substitute heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes optional
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne optional
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
- Season the salmon filets with the garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper, and salt. Bring a saute pan or skillet up to medium heat and add the olive oil. Fry the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish has turned light pink on all sides. Do not overcook here - the salmon is meant to be undercooked and raw in the very middle still. Remove from pan.
- To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onions. Sautee on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes or until translucent. Add the grape tomatoes and garlic and stir. Allow to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes will burst and break down. Option to press down using the back of a spatula to encourage the bursting.
- Once the tomatoes have all broken down, add the half and half, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and cayenne if using. Stir to combine. Add the spinach and mix thoroughly. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
- Add the salmon back into the pan with the creamy spinach tuscan sauce and allow to simmer on low for about 5 minutes. Pour some of the sauce on the top of the salmon as well.
- Serve as is, over a bed of pasta, or alongside your vegetables of choice. Enjoy
