This Salmon in White Wine Sauce is made with salmon, white wine, cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic and garnished with parsley.

The wine makes the salmon so soft and gives it a nice flavorful kick and a subtle layer of flavor. It only takes about 20 minutes to make in total which makes this a great healthy weeknight meal. The blistered tomatoes compliment the fish so much. A tip is to double the blistered tomato amount and use half for the fish and the other half can be used as sauce for cooked pasta on the side. It is so great if you are looking to make a healthy meal. The leftovers taste just as good the next day and goes great with a nice light salad.

Substitutions

Salmon: Using salmon is essential for this dish, the white wine gives the salmon so much flavor.

Olive oil: I used good quality extra virgin olive oil.

Butter: I used salted butter but you could use ghee or unsalted butter and salt yourself.

White wine: I love using an inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Variations

Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.

  • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while cooking to imbue heat into the dish.
  • Deluxe - add parsley, basil, or oregano.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

I love using my Caraway pots, pans and baking sheets for best quality.

Storage

This will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.

Top tip

Do not overcook the salmon. Baking time should be 12 to 15 minutes, tops.
