Step 1

Measure and prep all ingredients.

Step 2

Prepare the salmon. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Season the salmon filets on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the salmon in the hot pan, flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the Tuscan sauce. Melt the butter in the remaining juices leftover in the pan. Add in the garlic and fry for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Pour in the white wine and allow to reduce for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the sundried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce heat to low. Add the half-and-half and bring the sauce to simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes:

For a dairy-free option, substitute half-and-half for dairy-free milk and omit the Parmesan cheese.
For a thicker sauce, add a mixture of cornstarch and water to the center of the pan, and continue to simmer while quickly stirring the mixture through until the sauce thickens.

I try to have salmon for my husband and I at least once a week. It is hard to find a way to prepare it that isn't boring. This jumped out at me as soon as I read the ingredients. Easy to prepare. And, huge success. Definitely will make it again.

I love cooking (and eating) salmon and this is a great and easy new way to make it! It is also keto.

Restaurant quality indeed! This was incredible and I loved watching the video as I cooked. I think next time I'll double the sauce and add in some pasta!
