Creamy Tuscan salmon is delicious on a cold winter day.
Tuscan salmon brings a wonderful change to the familiar baked salmon. Creamy Tuscan salmon is the perfect comfort food, and it’s perfect to serve with potatoes, rice or pasta. Try serving salmon also with light, crusty bread.
Salmon made in the Tuscan way is not stewed only in a cream sauce, but the sauce is flavored with sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and spinach. Salmon food is quite easy to prepare, as it is prepared in one pan.
As salmon in this dish, you can use either Norwegian salmon or domestic rainbow salmon. In the new nutritional recommendations, it is recommended to eat 300-450 grams of fish per week, and 200 grams of this should be fatty fish, for example domestic rainbow trout. It is good to eat a variety of fish species.
