Creamy Tuscan Salmon

 

INGREDIENTS

 

  • 3 salmon fillets
  • 2 teaspoons Aroma olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable broth
  • 5 ounces (150g) jarred sun-dried tomato in oil, drained of oil
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • Aroma Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped


DIRECTIONS

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon filets on both sides with Aroma 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 salmon filets are cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.

  1. In the same pan, melt the butter in the remaining cooking juices leftover. Add in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about one minute). Add onion and stir fry until translucent. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes so they release their flavors. Finally, pour in the vegetable broth, and allow the sauce to reduce down slightly.

  2. Reduce heat to low, add the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Season the cream sauce with salt and pepper to your taste.

  3. Add in the baby spinach and allow to wilt in the sauce, and add in the parmesan cheese. Allow the cream sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through.

  4. Add the grilled salmon filets back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and spoon the sauce over each filet.
