Salmon in Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce
Adapted from eatwell 101
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, minced
- 1/2-1 cup sundried tomatoes
- 4 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 Tbsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large non stick pan on medium heat, sear salmon fillets in 1 tsp of olive oil – about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove salmon and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 3 tsp of olive oil, saute onion, garlic, sundried tomatoes, paprika, red chili pepper flakes and dried basil for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant
- Add vegetable stock to deglaze the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Add half and half to the skillet and stir until a creamy sauce forms. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If you want it thicker, make a cornstarch and water slurry and add it to simmering sauce until it is thickened to your liking.
- Add salmon back to the skillet and reheat for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve over pasta, rice or other grain.
Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for
“royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care
of yourself during the coronavirus scare!
