📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season all over with the pepper and 1 teaspoon salt.
2
In a large skillet, heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the salmon fillets with the skinned side-up and cook until the bottoms are deeply golden and the flesh has turned opaque about halfway to two-thirds of the way up the sides, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. The edges will look just barely flaky. Transfer the fillets to a plate, cooked side-up, and set aside.
3
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is translucent, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened in color, about ⏱️ 1 minute.
4
Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let the wine reduce by half, about ⏱️ 2 minutes.
5
Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until fully incorporated and the raw flour smell disappears, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes.
6
Gradually stir in the chicken broth until the sauce is smooth. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is slightly reduced, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Add the heavy cream and parmesan and cook, stirring, until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes.
7
Add the salmon, cooked-side up, to the skillet. Continue cooking until the salmon is firm to the touch and cooked through, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes.
8
Sprinkle with parsley and more parmesan and serve with rice.
Parsley, finely chopped, for serving
