Instructions
Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through but still tender in the center. Transfer the salmon to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary and saute' the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the sun-fried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Saute' for 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice, then stir to combine.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for a couple of minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle the chopped basil and parsley over the salmon and sauce. Serve the Tuscan salmon hot, ensuring each plate get a generous serving of the spinach and sun-dried tomato sauce.
Notes
Before seasoning and cooking, make sure to pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Removing excess moisture helps in getting a better sear and crispier skin. Using fresh herbs provides that fresh flavor you are looking for.
