A quick recipe for One Pot Salmon with Tuscan Herb Butter Recipe, a delicious Italian inspired salmon dish.
Ingredients
- 4-5 tbsp Tuscan herb butter
- 4 x 6 oz salmon filets
- 1 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 3 cups chopped baby spinach
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt
- Grated Parmesan cheese optional
- Lemon wedges optional
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
- Cut the tomatoes in half. Set aside.
- Chop the spinach into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
- Melt 4-5 tbsp of Tuscan herb butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add in the salmon filets, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the cherry tomatoes.
- Flip over the salmon and allow to continue cooking about 5 more minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and slowly pour in the cream. Use a wooden spoon to distribute the cream evenly among the salmon filets.
