GUY TURLAND’S MARRY ME SALMON 

Prep time 10 mins | Cook time 40 mins | Easy | Serves 4 

INGREDIENTS: 

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 

4 pieces of Tassal Fresh Tassie Salmon, skin off (2x 300g packs) 

Freshly ground black pepper 

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves 

1 tsp red chilli flakes 

¾ cup chicken stock or bone broth 

½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes 

½ cup thickened cream 

¼ cup finely grated parmesan 

Fresh basil leaves 

METHOD: 

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 190°C 

STEP 2: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season salmon all over with salt and black pepper, put in the oven and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer salmon to a plate. 

STEP 3: Transfer the same skillet to the stove top. Over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir in garlic, thyme, and red chilli flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return salmon to the skillet. 

STEP 4: Transfer the skillet back to the oven and bake salmon for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear when salmon is pierced with a knife. 

STEP 5: Serve in the skillet, topped with basil and a side of orzo or rice
