Salmon with Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
A jar of sun-dried tomatoes does double duty for this healthy dinner recipe—the flavorful oil they're packed in is used to sauté the shallots and the actual tomatoes help to add delicious flavor to the creamy sauce. Served with perfectly cooked salmon, you really can't go wrong with this easy 20-minute weeknight meal. This recipe is a variation on our insanely popular Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce recipe by Carolyn Malcoun.
Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ pounds salmon
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- ½ cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar
- ½ cup finely chopped shallots
- ⅓ cup dry white wine
- ⅓ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
Directions:
- Arrange rack in upper third of oven. Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Broil, rotating the pan from front to back once, until the salmon is opaque in the center, 8 to 12 minutes. Cut into 4 portions.
- Meanwhile, heat sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sun-dried tomatoes and shallots; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add wine and broth. Cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; simmer for 2 minutes. Serve the salmon topped with the sauce and parsley and with the rice on the side.

I have fond memories of growing up in an Irish-Italian family and learning to cook from my grandparents. Beefy stew reminds me of their precious contributions.
Shrimp Pasta in a Goat Cheese and Pine Nut Sauce
This is a very pleasant and tasty way to combine shrimp and pasta. I loved using half-and-half as the sauce base, and the undertone of lemon juice and overtone of lemon zest combined well to produce a fine flavor that is redolent of Greek cooking. Up here pine nuts are $40.00/ lb. retail and $20.00 lb. at Costco, but the weather did not permit a trip! So I subbed in slivered almonds for the pine nuts and I would encourage cooks who resist making this dish because of cost to do the same—it would be a shame to overlook Table9's lovely work on that account. Another time I might up the shrimp to 1 pound. For those who enjoy a more piquant flavor, increase the red pepper flakes to 3/4 tsp. or even possibly 1 tsp. I used 1/3 c. of the pasta liquid to produce a creamier consistency.
