He recommends serving it with a fluffy crusty bread and a green salad.It could also be accompanied by a favorite pasta dribbled with the sundried tomatoes olive oil.
What kind of salmon is used for this? Use filets with the skin still on for the best results. Half a yellow onion is a must here to give the sauce a mildly sweet flavor. Do no t use garlic. It may work with Marry Me Chicken but its too overpowering with fish . Again chicken broth CNA be used here but clam juice give it a lovely briny taste(a tip he got from fellow Times contributor Genevieve Ko). Use a splash of heavy cream for a vodka sauce vibe .It's mostly pan searing the filets in the sun dried tomato oil and then gently and briefly poaching the flesh side to get the skin shattering to revel plush meat. This is a quick dish, allowing home chefs t spend the day creating an equally impressive "Marry Me" dessert. The filets are only pan seared for five to seven minutes or until the skin turns opaque in color.The heat is reduced towards the end and the filets are transferred to a plate. More sundried oil is added to the empty pan and then the oregano and chili flakes.The tomato paste is then added followed by the splash of heavy cream.The salmon is returned to the pan and then simmered for a few minutes more. Serve with pasta or a simple salad.
