Tuscan Salmon Recipe
Tender fillets of salmon are cooked in a creamy sun-dried tomato, garlic and parmesan sauce with spinach for a tasty and simple dinner. Serve with rice, chipped potatoes or pasta.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 3 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 100 g sun-dried tomatoes in oil (roughly chopped - reserve some of the oil for cooking)
- 100 g cream cheese (Full or half-fat is fine)
- 150 ml gluten free chicken stock (I use Knorr or homemade)
- 50 g grated parmesan cheese
- 120 g spinach leaves shredded
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Pour a little of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes into a large frying pan and place on a medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets (skin-side-down) and fry for 2-3 minutes, before flipping. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the pan and set to one side. If you prefer, you can peel off the skin and discard it at this point.
- Add the garlic, paprika, oregano and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan, fry for a minute then add the cream cheese, chicken stock and parmesan.
- Mix well and simmer until it thickens a little, approximately 3-5 minutes. Add the spinach leaves and stir through.
- Add the salmon back into the pan, pop the lid on and cook for a further minute until the spinach has wilted. Serve straight away with your favourite sides - I love mine with homemade chips, parmentier potatoes, rice or even gluten free pasta.

Notes
- Storage: This dish is definitely best made fresh. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge but it’s best eaten at the time of cooking for sure.
