This Keto Pan-Seared Salmon is a delightful dish featuring rich salmon fillets topped with a creamy Tuscan sauce made from sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and garlic. The taste is a perfect balance of savory and rich, with a touch of sweetness from the tomatoes that complements the salmon beautifully.

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  3. Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Add Spinach: Add fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted. Return the salmon to the skillet to warm through.
  6. Serve: Plate the salmon and spoon the creamy Tuscan sauce over the top. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
