Description

A delightful Tuscan-inspired salmon recipe featuring a creamy tomato-basil sauce, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, and place them in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the Parmesan cheese and basil, and mix well until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
  7. Return the salmon to the skillet and coat with the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

Consider using fresh herbs beyond basil like dill or parsley for added flavor.
