It’s Friday Miss Celie and I feel like cookin! Yes, I said that in my Shug Avery voice from my favorite movie, “The Color Purple”.
I have a low-carb, keto-friendly salmon dish for y’all. This Creamy Garlic Tuscan Salmon With Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes is juicy, crisp, and flavorful!
I've made a lot of salmon recipes and this Tuscan recipe is one of the best. This recipe has a down-home cooking feeling with a low-carb, keto seal of approval. This dish only takes 20 minutes or less to cook.
The salmon is smothered in favorable garlic butter and sun-dried tomato sauce that will have you thanking the food gods.
Remember, "I cook it, I eat It, so I know you'll love it." Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
3 salmon fillets
2 teaspoons 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
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 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. Note: I covered the salmon in foil to keep it warm
In the same pan, melt the butter in the remaining cooking juices leftover.
Add in the garlic and fry until fragrant, give it about one minute. Add onion and 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 about 2 minutes.
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.
Add in the baby spinach and allow to wilt in the sauce, and add in the parmesan cheese. Allow cream sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through.
Add the grilled salmon filets back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and spoon the sauce over each filet. Serve the creamy garlic Tuscan salmon over steamed veg or cauliflower rice for Keto dieters, or rice or pasta for non-Keto.
