        \n
      1. Prep and Season the Salmon:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Season both sides evenly with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Pan-Sear to Golden Perfection:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Add the salmon fillets and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your liking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Transfer the salmon fillets to a warm plate and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Make the Tuscan Sauce:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

            • Pour in the broth and heavy cream, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Stir in the fresh baby spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer on low for 2 to 3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the sauce becomes silky and smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Combine and Serve:<\/strong>\n
                \n

              • Simmer together for 1 to 2 minutes to heat through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Garnish with fresh chopped basil or parsley and serve immediately!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                • Sun-Dried Tomato Oil Trick:<\/strong> Saut\u00e9 the garlic in a tablespoon of the oil reserved from the sun-dried tomato jar for an extra layer of savory depth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
