Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.

        Add the Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted.

          Create the Creamy Base: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste (if using).

            Combine Everything: Return the seared salmon fillets back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm the salmon through.

              Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve the creamy Tuscan salmon over pasta, rice, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy!
