TUSCAN BUTTER SALMON RECIPE
so we've got that scream and hot
and then I have swirled the bottom of the pan with just a little bit of oil and
then I have for fillets for salmon fillets that I am just giving a little
dusting of salt and pepper on the skin side up side on the fleshy side okay
then we're going to turn these over we're going to go ahead and season the back
side as well the skin side this is one of great and his favorite meals you know
she has a real strong flavor profiles she was anything that has spinach or
sun-dried tomatoes and she actually sent me this recipe she need or seen it on
Pinterest or on Instagram I don't remember and of course I made it because it
is just really really good and I loved the Simplicity of this dish so we had it
a couple of nights ago and he was really really good
I thought y'all might really like
this one especially now that we are in you know what the fall and everything is
super busy these ones do things with a whole bunch of pre pre Jarred little
flavor add-ins make this a great one for weeknights are busy weekends so here's
what we've got we have our Skillet swirl with oil preheat it over at medium-high
heat or so medium now what we want to do is we want to lay our salmon down skin
side down first okay and then the minute that we lay this salmon in their skin
side down you want to put some pressure on your salmon for just a couple of
minutes and maybe not even a minute just so that we can get good contact of the
skin with your pan and it also helps keep your salmon from the skin from kind
of seizing up and causing your salmon not to lay nice and flat given that a
little pressed down already smells good before we add the second salmon piece
in does that make sense we're going to press each of them down if
I happen to have some pretty good
size pans in my kitchen but if you don't have a pan that's big enough to put
your salmon in all of your pieces then you may need to cook them in batches and
that's totally fine I do that a lot of matter of fact I think I may be just
fine now the goal what we're going to do here is what I'm just going to do this
guy sweating like crazy game tell you that this is important my salmon was laid
out on this sheet pan and when I got my salmon out of the package actually laid
this completely out on paper towels so that the same and was very very dry then
I took this paper towel and Pad of them dry on the top as well because we're
trying to get the most water out of the salmon as we can before we see rat
because that is going to spit first of all the water in contact with the oil
and other boy sure is going to sit on it and it also prevents it from getting
the fear that we want if it's too if it's wet and we don't want that we want a
good Seer so we get it is dry as possible before we put it into our pants so we
can wipe those off a little bit now I'm going to just wait on this guy because
I don't think we're going to have
room and so here's how you cut skin side down salmon or skin side you know skin
on salmon repressing each of them down for contact sincere and get that good
good Chris we want him to cut on the chin side for about 4 minutes or so then
all you have to do is turn it over and cook them for about 20 seconds on the
other side and that's it that's all it's going to take to get these Sam the
salmon cooked easy that's why this is such a great weeknight meal because it
takes no time at all now here's another tip yeah you get your you know your
tool underneath your salmon and your filet doesn't loosen from the pan okay
here we got one if it doesn't open from the pan and you're struggling leave it
there let it cook for another 15 or 20 seconds because when you got your good sear
like we're going to flip this right now and you have your Good Steer oh yes the
Nets Kenneth on a release from your pan with no trouble whatsoever and then
you're not going to have to sit there and dig it out and and mess up your
beautiful plays
I'm going to go ahead and put
these when we come back from our thoughts this is cooking today welcome back to
picking today are salmon is gorgeous look at that look at that color can you
see that look at that beautiful color Isn't it nice easy that is nothing is
going to have a little bit of pinkish in the middle and that's okay it's going
to continue to cook as you rest it there but we did this we cooked it on
wee-wee oil are pants on both sides even even the skin side and then we seared
it skin side down in a hot Skillet pressing just a lightest so that our skin
stays in contact with are in a crispy beautiful skin thin piece of cake adjust
for Lisa's right off of your pan and then we just turn it over on cook this the
flesh side down before and 15 20 30 seconds a minute whatever it's kind of
depends on how how done you like your salmon
I probably let those go for 45
seconds or so on the Riverside how beautiful it is not pretty. Color and then
look though that's so nice love it so that's the meat that's a protein
inefficient it's super simple y'all okay I'm turning my heat down a little bit
on my pants because you know smoking but I have a sheet of oil we have our
salmon and I'm just Loosely going to cover this and set it aside for a minute
we're going to add it back into the pan at the very end that delish and just
you know for that matter my goodness the Spaniel for that matter you can this
is a great way to just fix a man salt and pepper both sides olive oil get a
good sear just like that and then you can eat this right away on rice or pasta
or on a salad or you can refrigerated and Flake it and eat it the next day
that's just the most simple way to cook salmon now we need to get something
else in this smoking pan so what we're going to start with is an onion of course
you know it's all good things around here start with onions and garlic don't
they I always have so I just have one medium yellow onion
I am going to peel that's my
little liar here and then chop this onion and we're going to give this a little
spot a you know how we chop are onion we take the skin back we do some cats and
then we just pop right through it and look it's already cut for us as men easy
did he get on this end this has been one of the tips and I've shared on here
that I haven't heard the most people say oh my goodness that has changed
everything for me I generally tend to tear up I think I've grown a little bit
over the two years of doing the show where I've been able to not cry when I cut
an onion because it's a beginning Andrew over here would have to come and tell
me we get tickled at me because you know I would get all weepy and stuff about
onions my own mother cannot cut a fresh onion to save her life she always buys
the frozen ones did you know they make frozen chopped onions at the grocery
store they do and that's what I grew up on what's Frozen chopped onions for
this reason ok pepper onions tear free because we're maturing and what
I need to grab is a little bit of
butter and I got my Skillet still going I did turn the heat down a little bit
because we had a real real high for our salmon and we don't want to fry or
onions we just want to give him a good little socks hey MK I'm going to get
that swirled around in our hot pan salted or unsalted it at matter on this one
then we have our one medium yellow onion that's going in and we're going to let
these store around for just a couple minutes until they start to get Tinder but
a little bit of color I mean right there and then some better it is the best it
is absolutely the best him when we throw this garlic in a minute how we say
there should be a candle like a holiday candle like a Thanksgiving candle that
smells like onions and and better and garlic I would buy it and burn it
wouldn't you know what's not do that let's just cook it like it's all getting
our kitchens and cook I'd rather you do that then just bring you make this
recipe don't let those go for just a minute now this is something you were not
going to see on here very often I was going to tell you right away you know
I'm all about cooking with fresh
everything if you can if you can get your hands on it and if you got the time
this particular recipe calls for 6 cloves of minced garlic who's got time for
that I don't so this is one of the few times you're going to see me pop open
one of the little jars of minced garlic from your groceries because it's a
whole lot easier and I'm you know it's falling like I said we're so busy and if
you know having to sit and peel and MIT 6 cloves of garlic honey I just got off
my my favorite way to spend some time on my busy night so we are going to saute
this a little bit longer sure in our garlic when we come back and then we're
going to keep going with papers and sun-dried tomatoes and all this recipe is
going to wrap up in no time so come on this is cooking today hi welcome back to
cooking today we're making creamy Tuscan salmon a recipe that my daughter sent
to me that she thought looks delicious online and we've been making it it is so
good
Oh this is one of the few times
you're going to see me pop open one of the little jars of minced garlic from
your grocery because it's a whole lot easier and I'm you know it's like I said
we're so busy and if you know having to sit and peel and MIT 6 cloves of garlic
right now it's just not my my my favorite way to spend some time on my busy
night so we are going to saute this a little bit longer shirt in our garlic
when we come back and then we're going to keep going we got papers and
sun-dried tomatoes and y'all this recipe is going to wrap up in no time so come
on cooking today hi welcome back to cooking today we're making creamy Tuscan
salmon a recipe that my daughter sent to me that she thought look delicious
online and we've been making it it is so good now one of the shortcuts that I'm
making we've already Christopher salmon seared it and it's kind of hanging out
waiting to be put back into the pan is we thought and onions but here's my
little short cut instead of cooking or chopping and mincing 6 cloves of garlic
which is an awful lot of time
I am come with that jar I'm not
even about the late on that my plastic sinoway goodness so instead of men
seeing six cloves of garlic I just went ahead and bought the minced garlic from
the grocery store because why not it's it's perfectly fine in this dish and I
did a couple of teeth in tablespoons I like this extra garlicky if you do not
want this extra car with you than you can lighten up a little bit you can also
added a little bit later at the end of the dish if you want to just want to
give it a little bit of time to cook you know I just kind of went for it I did
several several teaspoons tablespoons of it okay you only sought a garlic until
it really becomes fragrant because it'll burn real real quick on you and you'll
have 5 million tiny little burnt bike in your sauce and we don't want that then
I am just taking the littlest bit
of a really dry white wine this is a Pinot Grigio to put in the bottom of my
pan and you'll see it starts to sizzle and it deglaze as your pan and it pulled
all that good seasoning from our fish when we cooked our salmon it devices are
pan and it starts to bubble bubble bubble and it's kind of cooking off and
releasing some of the good stuff that is stuck in the bottom of our pan we want
that we want that good stuff flavors and crumbles and bits to be part of our
sauce so we don't want it to hang out there we wanted to loosen now another
quick quick thing about this recipe is sun dried tomatoes this is a 1/8 oz jar
I think I'm just going to go for it I think the recipe says to do 5 ounces but
is one of my favorite tiny bites in this thing so I'm going to go ahead just
come all that I have primarily drained most of the liquid you know the Royal
Lee I've drank most of the liquid off of them be a little bit that we don't
have to worry about that it'll just flavor are sauce I got the sun dried
tomatoes are already chopped into strips and for you know just the sake of
getting them into bite I'm just going over these real quick like a reptile shop
I'm at that we don't want to spend a lot of time on it and now we're going to
put these in here as well as simple look at this one pot
I loved one I got the sun dried
tomatoes are already chopped into strips and you know just the sake of getting
them into bite I'm just going over these real quick like a rough chop I'm at
that we don't want to spend a lot of time on it and now we're going to put
these in here as well as simple look at this one pot I love one pot Leavitt
Leavitt okay now we're going to let those cook for just a minute so all we're
doing on this dish we are adding a little flavor sauteing it for a minute
adding another little level of flavor sauteing it for another minute adding
another layer of flavor sauteing it for a minute that's all there is to this
we're just dumping things in that great so we have are onions or garlic are
sun-dried tomatoes that we've now I'm going to put in some papers again I have
drain the liquid off of these y'all what is it with the least holy smokes I'm
not even going to measure I'm trying to lick what all I'm probably doing a
couple of tablespoons of those maybe we can try but the little man said it away
Capers are real bryony super salty your love the bike that goes in there when
you taste that paper it is awesome it's so Allah be you know if you like olives
it's kind of reminds me of liking all the text you a little Barry but it's
really good at throwing a super super super salty and I love that because we've
got the start and the time from those tomatoes in the good kind of buttery
oniony flavor in there with the garlic what's a good night's here finally
famous easy and I think I'm going to make this one

to our pan we don't want it to be super duper hot so I have a 2 cup measuring
cup and I port in one cup of cream and then I'm going to add to it three
quarters of a cup of whole milk for kind of making our own half and half you
