Tuscan Butter Salmon
Here at Delish, it’s no secret that we can’t get enough of Tuscan butter. We’ve incorporated it into countless of our most popular recipes, from gnocchi to meatballs to our classic, fan-favorite Tuscan chicken. Why are we so obsessed, you may ask? The tomato-and-basil cream sauce with a healthy dose of Parmesan hits all the right flavor notes: rich and decadent, slightly sweet, and with a punch of umami. To keep the good times going, we incorporated the flavor-packed sauce into this salmon dinner (and if we’re honest, it just might be our favorite take yet).
You won’t want to miss any drop of the sauce, so we recommend serving this with crusty bread or garlic mashed potatoes to soak up every last bite. To add some green to the plate, try serving this dinner alongside our honey-balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts, Lolita kale salad, or caprese asparagus.
