Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless salmon fillets, 4-6 oz each
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt u0026 pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Creamy Tuscan Sauce

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk, or use 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 4 cups spinach
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 an onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp tapioca flour
  • Salt u0026 pepper
  • Fresh basil, to top

Directions

  1. Pat the salmon dry and season it with the garlic powder, salt u0026 pepper
  2. Heat a large pan on medium heat, then add in the tbsp of olive oil. Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and sear for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Prepare the sauce by adding the butter into the pan, keeping it on medium heat. Once melted, add in the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  4. Next add in the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and stir together with the onions for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir together.
  6. Mix the tapioca flour with about 1 tbsp of water to create a slurry, then pour that into that pan. This will help thicken up the sauce. Let the sauce simmer on medium/low for about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add in the grated parmesan and spinach, and stir together for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts down.
  8. Once the sauce is thick, keep the flame on low and add the salmon fillets back in. Let the salmon continue cooking in the sauce for about 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through
  9. Garnish with extra parmesan, chopped basil and enjoy!
