Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Tuscan Salmon
  1. Start by seasoning the fresh salmon fillets generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each fillet in flour, ensuring an even coating. Set aside while you heat the skillet.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the salmon for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown but slightly undercooked in the center.
  3. In the same skillet, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan. Toss in 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes and bring to a gentle bubble for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, letting it simmer for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Add 2 cups of fresh baby spinach and stir until wilted.
  5. Return the seared salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over it. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and opaque.
