Ingredients
-
2 salmon fillets
-
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
-
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced (or 1 tsp dried)
-
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced (or 1 tsp dried)
-
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced (or 1/2 tsp dried)
-
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
-
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
1/2 cup dry white wine
-
extra salt and pepper
-
6 sun-dried tomatoes, finely minced (NOT oil-packed)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F and adjust oven rack to center of oven.
- Lightly grease a small oven-proof baking dish (large enough to fit the fillets in one layer).
- In a small flat bowl (large enough to accomodate one salmon fillet, or use a piece of wax paper instead), combine the sea salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary and bread crumbs.
- Press the TOP of each fillet (not the skin side) into the crumb mix, then place each in the baking dish (skin side down).
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mix over the salmon, dividing equally, and pressing lightly into the samon.
- Drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil.
- Bake in oven just until fish flakes when tested in the center, about 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish.
- As the fish is baking, heat the remaining 2 tsp oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat; add shallots and saute, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
- Add lemon juice, wine, and sun-dried tomatoes, and cook until "sauce" is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 2 minutes-watch this carefully, it goes quickly!
- Spoon tomatoes and "sauce" over the salmon and serve immediately.
