Creamy Tuscan-Style Salmon Skillet

It’s a cozy, dinner-worthy dish that feels special enough for guests yet comforting for a weeknight.

Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the olive oil. When the butter stops sizzling, swirl the skillet to mix them. Add 2 or 3 rosemary sprigs to flavor the oil.

Add the salmon and cook until it is lightly browned and flakes when a fork is gently inserted, about 3 minutes per side. (If the salmon filets are thinner than 1 1/2 inches, this may take less time.) An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should register 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

In the same skillet with the rosemary, add the chopped prosciutto, green onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest, and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- 5
Add the white wine and cook until the liquid evaporates. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach and toss in the skillet until bright green and just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- 6
Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the sauce bubbles, about 2 minutes, then remove the cooked rosemary sprigs.

Serve the salmon over the vegetables and sauce, drizzle with a little olive oil, and garnish with lemon slices, fresh rosemary sprigs, and toasted pine nuts, if desired.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
