_Sips wine while typing_
Oh my goodness, loves! Let me tell you about this absolutely divine dinner recipe that had my husband practically begging for seconds (and thirds, but whoโs counting? ๐). This Garlic Butter Tuscan Salmon with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce is seriously to die for, and Iโm spilling all the tea on how to make it.
Listen, I know weโre all busy running around like crazy people, but trust your girl here โ this recipe is worth every minute in the kitchen. Itโs my go-to when I want to feel fancy without spending hours cooking (because hello, weโve got better things to do!).
Hereโs what youโll need:
โ 4 salmon fillets (get the good stuff, honey!)
โ 6 cloves of garlic (vampires, stay away!)
โ 2 cups spinach
โ 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
โ 1 cup heavy cream
โ 1/2 cup white wine (plus extra for the chef, wink wink)
โ Fresh basil
โ Salt and pepper to taste
โ 4 tablespoons butter
Now, letโs get cooking!
1. Season those beautiful salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Donโt be shy with the seasoning โ weโre not making bland food in this kitchen!
1. In a large skillet (you know, that fancy one you got for Christmas), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once itโs sizzling, add the salmon skin-side up. Cook for 5 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
1. Remove salmon and set aside (donโt you dare sneak a biteโฆ okay, maybe just a tiny one ๐).

1. In the same pan (because who wants to wash extra dishes?), add remaining butter and minced garlic. Once fragrant, pour in that wine and let it reduce for 2 minutes.
1. Add sun-dried tomatoes and heavy cream. Let it simmer until slightly thickened โ about 3 minutes. This sauce is so good, youโll want to bathe in it (but please donโt, that would be weird).
1. Toss in the spinach and let it wilt. Return the salmon to the pan and spoon that heavenly sauce all over it.
1. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot!
Yโall, this dish is perfect for date night, impressing the in-laws, or just treating yourself because youโre worth it! Pair it with a glass of white wine (you already have the bottle open anyway), and some crusty bread to soak up that sauce โ because wasting it would be a crime against humanity.
