  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut into halves

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • ½ teaspoon red Chile flakes adjust up or down to your preferred level
  • 1 lemon use the zest and juice
  • ¼ cup basil chopped
  • ½ cup parsley chopped

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.
