Return the salmon to the pan, spooning the sauce over the fillets.

Tips for Perfect One Pan Tuscan Salmon

Use fresh salmon for the best flavour and texture.

Don't overcook the salmon – it should be just cooked through and still moist.

Gently simmer the sauce to prevent separation and curdling.

For extra flavour, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce.
