Wild Alaska king salmon is seared crisp-skinned, then simmered in a one-skillet sauce of white wine, cream, parmesan, cherry tomatoes and spinach for a quick Tuscan-style dinner.

Ingredients

    Salmon:

    Sauce:

    • 2 cloves minced garlic
    • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (can sub for sun-dried tomatoes)
    • ¼ cup dry white wine
    • ⅓ cup half & half or heavy cream
    • ⅓ cup parmesan cheese
    • 1 cup fresh spinach
    • salt & pepper, to taste
    • red pepper flakes, to taste

    Directions

    1. Thaw salmon and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.

    2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and then sear the salmon, skin-side down, for approximately 6-7 minutes, until crisp. Flip and sear briefly on the other side.

      * The salmon doesn’t have to be cooked all the way through at this point. Remove the salmon and set aside for later.

    3. In the same pan, add some more olive oil and sauté the garlic and cherry tomatoes for 30 seconds over low heat. Add white wine and simmer for 5 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to half.

    4. Stir in the half & half (or heavy cream) and grated parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

    5. Add the spinach and salmon and simmer for five minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

    6. Enjoy!
