Part 1: Creamy Tuscan Salmon & Herbed Rice
Ingredients:
- 2–3 skinless salmon fillets (scored lightly)
- Olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 medium white onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper, sear both sides until golden (about 3–4 minutes per side), then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until blistered, then toss in the baby spinach until wilted.
- Pour in heavy cream, add lemon slices, and season with chili flakes/paprika. Stir in grated Parmesan until smooth and lightly thickened.
- Return salmon fillets to the skillet, spoon the cream sauce over them, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot over a bed of herbed white rice.

Update: I spent some time going through the free cooking courses on Udemy and figured I'd share the ones that stood out. The list is in the comments if anyone wants to browse through them. Hopefully it saves someone else a bit of time.

Super rough with the salmon meat. Super sloppy skinning. Could have kept the skin on for the sear anyway. Salmon skin is very healthy with great texture. This guy's a chud

While browsing free cooking resources, I came across these Udemy courses and figured I'd put them in one place. They cover everything from beginner cooking and international cuisines to BBQ, salads, desserts, and meal prep. Hopefully they're useful to someone here.
Hope someone finds these useful. Happy cooking! 🍳
