Preparation Steps
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add the fillets to the heated oil and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cooked 3/4 of the way up. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillet. Using a fish spatula, carefully flip over the salmon and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for a minute. Add the remaining tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil only if needed.
- Stir in the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning; cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until heated through. Taste the sauce for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly.
- Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and cook for 2 more minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Then, spoon the sauce over the salmon fillets, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
For best results, use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure salmon is cooked to 145˚F for perfect doneness. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
