- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup white cooking wine

Mashed Potatoes
- 3 lb russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 5 garlic cloves
- 3/4 cup milk
- to taste salt
Instructions
- 1Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels and place them in a bowl.
- 2Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper to the salmon; toss to coat evenly.
- 3Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat and add the neutral oil.
- 4When the oil shimmers, add the seasoned salmon cubes in a single layer; sear for 2‑3 minutes without moving, then flip and sear the other side for another 2‑3 minutes until lightly browned.
- 5Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside on a warm plate.
- 6Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced shallot to the same skillet; sauté for 1 minute until translucent.
- 7Stir in the chopped sun‑dried tomatoes, sun‑dried tomato oil, and white cooking wine; deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits, and let the liquid reduce by half, about 2‑3 minutes.
- 8Add the heavy cream and butter, stirring constantly; simmer gently for 3‑4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 9Return the salmon to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the pieces, and let them warm through for 2 minutes.
- 10Finish the sauce with a pinch of fresh chopped parsley, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
