How To Make Creamy Garlic Tuscan Salmon
To make Tuscan butter salmon, first, you heat up a skillet with a bit of butter.
Pan sear the salmon with skin side down first, then flip over to pan sear the surface until they turn brown on the surface (the salmon is not completely cooked at this point).
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Add some garlic and sauté in the pan, before adding cooking wine, heavy whipping cream and sun-dried tomatoes.
Turn the heat to simmer and add the salmon back. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
Add the spinach and lemon juice. As soon as the spinach wilts and the salmon is cooked through on the inside, turn off the heat and serve immediately.
