Salmon is coated with basil, thyme, rosemary, and bread crumbs, baked, and topped with fresh sun-dried tomato sauce.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons shallots, minced
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, strained
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 6 sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon fresh basil, minced or 1 tsp crumbled dried basil
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme, minced or 1 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced or 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 (12-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
Preparation:
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of oil over medium heat. Add shallots and saute, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice, wine, and sun-dried tomatoes. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. (Sauce can be made up to 1 hour before cooking fish. Reheat over low heat just before removing fish from oven.)
Adjust oven rack to center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 x 2-inch ovenproof casserole with cooking spray; set aside.
On a piece of wax paper, combine basil, thyme, rosemary, and bread crumbs. Dredge each fillet in bread crumb mixture, coating well. Transfer fillets to prepared pan and place 2 inches apart. Drizzle with remaining 2 teaspoons of oil.
Bake in a preheated oven just until salmon is opaque and barely flakes when tested in the center with a knife, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to serving platter, slice each fillet in half crosswise, spoon sauce over fillets, and serve.
