You will need:

Plain flour, for dusting

4 salmon fillets

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, crushed

200ml double cream 

150ml fish stock

100g sundried tomatoes, finely chopped

½ tsp chilli flakes

1 tsp mixed herbs

25g parmesan, finely grated

½ bunch fresh basil, shredded

Step-by-step:

1. Get a good sprinkle of plain flour on a dinner plate. Season the salmon on both sides and coat in the plain flour, shaking off any excess.

2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan, and over a medium-high heat on the hob (remember to switch on your cooker hood!). Fry the salmon fillets for 3 minutes on each side until they're golden and crispy. Pop them onto a plate and set aside while you make the sauce.

3. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Gently fry the onion and garlic over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until they’re nice and soft. Add the cream, fish stock, most of the sundried tomatoes (keep a few to serve), chilli flakes and mixed herbs.

4. Give it all a good stir, then add the salmon fillets back to the pan. Let everything simmer gently for 10-12 mins.

5. Stir in the Parmesan and top with the remaining sundried tomatoes and fresh basil to serve.
