Tuscan Salmon

 Shonna made this delicious salmon recipe and said it was out of this world good.  I can't wait to try it.

Tuscan Salmon

4  6oz. salmon fillets

kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 T. butter

3 cloves garlic, mashed or minced

1 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

2 cups baby spinach

1/2 cup heavy cream

 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped parsley or basil

Lemon wedges

 Over medium-high heat, heat some olive oil  Meanwhile, season the salmon with salt and pepper.  When oil shimmers, add the salmon, skin-side up.  Cook until deeply golden.  It will take about 6 minutes.  Turn over and cook for about two more minutes.  Move the salmon to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.  When melted, add the garlic and cook and stir for about a minute.  Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.  When the tomatoes are beginning to burst, add the spinach and cook until the spinach is beginning to wilt.

Stir in the cream, parmesan, and herbs.  Bring to a simmer.  Turn to low and simmer until the sauce is reduced-  about three minutes.

Return the salmon to the skillet and simmer until the salmon is cooked through.  It should take about three more minutes.

Garnish with more herbs and served with lemon wedges.
