A plate of creamy Tuscan salmon in garlic cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes

Don't let the cream boil hard — a gentle simmer keeps it smooth.

How to make it

Season the salmon. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the salmon fillets.
Sear the salmon. Melt the butter in a big pan on medium-high heat, add the salmon skin-side down if it has skin, and cook about 4 minutes per side till golden. Set aside.
Start the sauce. In the same pan, cook the garlic 1 minute, then pour in the cream.
Add the good stuff. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan, and simmer gently till the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens a little.
Finish and serve. Put the salmon back in the pan, spoon sauce over it, and serve.
