Love this version, but wanna switch up the flavors? Try swapping limes for lemons and cilantro for dill. Now you've got a latin-inspired salmon that would be perfect served atop cilantro lime rice!

Prep Time

    •    Prep and cook time: 10 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    kosher salt
    •    2 tbsps butter
    •    1/4 c. white wine
    •    2 cloves garlic, sliced
    •    Pinch red pepper flakes
    •    2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
    •    freshly ground black pepper
    •    juice of 1 1/2 lemons, divided
    •    1 lemon, cut into rounds, for serving
    •    2 tbsps freshly chopped dill, for garnish
    •    4 (6 oz.) salmon fillets, patted dry with a paper towel

Method

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. When oil is hot but not smoking, add salmon skin-side up and season with salt and pepper. Cook salmon until deeply golden, about 6 minutes, then flip over.
2. Add wine, juice of 1 lemon, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook, basting salmon occasionally with a spoon. When salmon is opaque, remove from skillet. Add butter and remaining lemon juice to pan and whisk to combine with the sauce. Let simmer until thickened slightly, 2 minutes.
3. Serve fish drizzled with pan sauce and topped with fresh lemon slices and dill.

Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Salmon is a restaurant quality Pan Seared salmon recipe in a delicious creamy sauce! Filled with garlic, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and parmesan cheese.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 5 minutes
    •    Cook time: 20 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    2 tsps olive oil
    •    2 tbsps butter
    •    1 3/4 cups half and half
    •    Salt and pepper, to taste
    •    Salt and pepper, to season
    •    6 cloves garlic, finely diced
    •    1 small yellow onion, diced
    •    3 cups baby spinach leaves
    •    1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
    •    1/3 cup dry white wine (optional)
    •    1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
    •    4 salmon fillets, skin off (or trout or any white fish)
    •    5 ounces (150g) jarred sun dried tomato strips in oil, drained of oil
    •    1 tsp cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with 1 tbsp of water (optional)

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon filets (or fish if using) on both sides with salt and pepper, and sear in the hot pan, flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
   
   
2. Melt the butter in the remaining juices leftover in the pan. Add in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about one minute). Fry the onion in the butter. Pour in the white wine (if using), and allow to reduce down slightly. Add the sun dried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes to release their flavours.
   
   
3. Reduce heat to low heat, add the half and half (or heavy cream), and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
   
   
4. Add in the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the sauce, and add in the parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through the sauce. (For a thicker sauce, add the milk/cornstarch mixture to the centre of the pan, and continue to simmer while quickly stirring the mixture through until the sauce thickens.)
   
   
5. Add the salmon back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and spoon the sauce over each filet.
   
   
6. Serve over pasta, rice or steamed veg.
