Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Creamy Tuscan Salmon, ensuring everything is prepped and within reach. Mince the garlic, halve the cherry tomatoes, and wash the spinach.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets in the hot skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, then toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, cooking them for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring it in until it wilts, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of chicken broth into the pan, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese and the Italian seasoning. Stir for about 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece for about 1 minute.
Allow everything to simmer gently for an additional 2-3 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish your Creamy Tuscan Salmon with fresh basil if desired.
