Description
A creamy and rich salmon dish paired with sun-dried tomatoes and garlic, perfect for romantic dinners and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Start by seasoning the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a lovely golden crust and are cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, allowing them to warm through for an additional minute.
- Create the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Return the salmon: Gently place the salmon fillets back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them to ensure they are generously coated.
- Garnish & serve: Top with fresh basil or parsley for that final touch and serve immediately.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with coconut milk. Can also substitute salmon with chicken breast or shrimp.
