Salmon with Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce

SERVES: 4

PREP + COOK TIME: 40 MINUTES (20 minutes of this is to heat the broiler)

CALORIES: 297

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound 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 chicken broth (you can use vegetable broth as well)

  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

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 garnish with parsley.

*This recipe features broiled salmon— but this sauce can be made and used on many different types of protein. It’s ridiculously delicious!
