Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add diced onion. Sauté for 2 minutes until translucent, then stir in sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and mix well. Stir in Parmesan cheese, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Lower heat to keep warm until cheese melts.
  4. Return the seared salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Cover and simmer on low for 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
