Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 (4-6 ounces) wild-caught Sockeye salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Tuscan Marry Me blend seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Creamy Tuscan Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or 1–2 tablespoons unsalted or salted butter)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (optional: 1 shallot, minced)
  • 3 tablespoons organic tomato paste
  • 5–6 sundried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1–2 tablespoons Tuscan Marry Me blend seasoning
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups organic heavy cream
  • 1 cup organic vegetable or seafood stock (or chicken stock)
  • 3 tablespoons white cooking wine
  • 1/2 lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup organic kale, chopped
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets to prepare for seasoning.
  2. Season and Roast Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle 2 teaspoons Tuscan Marry Me blend seasoning, and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Rub the seasonings evenly over each fillet. Roast on the top rack for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily when gently touched.
  3. Start Sauce Base: Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter) in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to brown it. Optionally, add minced shallot now for added flavor.
  4. Add Seasonings and Tomato: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons Tuscan Marry Me blend seasoning and salt to taste. Mix well, then add tomato paste and chopped sundried tomatoes, stirring until fully combined and aromatic.
  5. Add Liquids and Cream: Reduce heat to medium-low. Slowly pour in heavy cream, vegetable or seafood stock, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and white cooking wine while stirring. Let the mixture bubble gently for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Incorporate Parmesan: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk continuously until the cheese fully melts and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. The sauce should be rich and creamy.
  7. Add Kale and Salmon: Stir in chopped kale until combined. Gently place the roasted salmon fillets into the skillet with the sauce. Let everything simmer together for 5-6 minutes, allowing the salmon to tenderize further and the sauce to thicken.
  8. Simmer and Finish: Stir the sauce occasionally, spooning it over the salmon to coat evenly. If adding gnocchi or other sides, incorporate them now and cook until tender (4-5 minutes).
  9. Serve: Remove from heat and plate the salmon with the creamy Tuscan sauce. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve alongside your preferred sides such as gnocchi, Basmati rice, coconut rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
  10. Enjoy: Savor this luscious Tuscan Marry Me Salmon dish that’s perfect for an elevated weeknight meal or special occasion.

Notes

  • You can substitute olive oil with unsalted or salted butter for a richer flavor in the sauce.
  • Adding a shallot with garlic in the sauce base adds extra depth but is optional.
  • Use chicken stock instead of vegetable or seafood stock if preferred.
  • Gnocchi can be added during the final simmer step to absorb the sauce and cook tender.
  • Ensure not to overcook salmon; it should flake easily but remain moist and tender.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan enhances the sauce flavor better than pre-grated varieties.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
