Easy Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pounds salmon
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- ½ cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar
- ½ cup finely chopped shallots
- ⅓ cup dry white wine
- ⅓ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
Directions
- Arrange rack in upper third of oven. Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Broil, rotating the pan from front to back once, until the salmon is opaque in the center, 8 to 12 minutes. Cut into 4 portions.
- Meanwhile, heat sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sun-dried tomatoes and shallots; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add wine and broth. Cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; simmer for 2 minutes. Serve the salmon topped with the sauce and parsley and with the rice on the side.
