Ingredients

• 400 g fresh salmon (Skin removed if applicable; cubed into large bite-sized pieces)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (For coating the salmon)
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder (For seasoning the salmon)
• 1 tsp seasoning salt (Fish seasoning may be used instead)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (For seasoning the salmon)
• 1 tsp black pepper (For seasoning the salmon)
• 0.25 cup white cooking wine
• 2 tbsp butter
• 5 garlic (Minced)
• 1 tbsp neutral oil (The author used avocado oil)
• 1 shallot (Minced)
• 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (Chopped)

• mashed potatoes (Warm; amount not specified in the source, for serving)
• fresh parsley (Chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Remove the skin from the salmon if applicable. Cut the salmon fillets into large bite-sized pieces and pat them dry thoroughly so they brown well.

2. 2

   Toss the salmon pieces with the olive oil. Coat them evenly with the paprika, garlic powder, seasoning salt or fish seasoning, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned salmon pieces.

4. 4

   Cook the salmon for about 4 minutes per side, until golden and sizzling.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, and gently sauté for 2–3 minutes, until fragrant.

6. 6

   Deglaze the same pan with the white cooking wine, scraping the garlicky browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

7. 7

   Add the minced shallot and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring often.

8. 8

   Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and sun-dried tomato oil. Cook for 2 minutes so the flavors mingle.

9. 9

   Slowly pour in the room-temperature heavy cream. Stir, bring the sauce to a light simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

10. 10

    Let the sauce thicken over low heat for 4–5 minutes.

11. 11

    Spoon a generous bed of warm mashed potatoes onto each plate. Place the salmon bites on top.

12. 12

    Pour the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce over the salmon and mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
