Best Herbed Salmon Fillets With Sun Dried Tomato Topping Recipes

HERBED SALMON FILLETS WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO TOPPING

Steps:

• 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.

AWARD WINNING SALMON WITH GARLIC AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Combine garlic and salt and grind into a paste. Combine the garlic, parsley, dried tomatoes and olive oil in a bowl; blending all ingredients. Chill until ready for use.
• With a sharp knife, cut two lengthwise slits in the salmon fillet, dividing the surface of the fish into thirds. Cut to the skin, but not through it.
• Preheat grill.
• Spread half the garlic mixture over the fillet and into the slits. Place the fish on grill and barbecue over a medium heat. Close the lid and grill for 15 minutes.
• Spread the remaining garlic mixture on the fillet. Close the lid, turning the temperature to high and grill 10 minutes more, or until fish flakes when tested.
• Remove the fish from the grill.
