What is Marry Me sauce? What is Marry Me Salmon?

Marry Me sauce is a rich, creamy sun-dried tomato sauce, used in the viral Marry Me chicken recipe. It’s said to be so good, it could make anyone want to propose marriage to the person who made it! Marry Me salmon swaps in fish fillets for the poultry for a delicious seafood dinner.

What is the difference between dehydrated and sun dried tomatoes?

They’re both tomatoes that have had the moisture removed. Nowadays, most commercially produced sun-dried tomatoes are first treated with salt or sulfur dioxide, then dried in dehydrating machines. When most of the water has been removed, they’re then laid out on trays in the sun to finish the dehydrating process. If you find “dehydrated tomatoes,” they were likely dehydrated in machines without the final spell in the sun.

What sauce can I use for fish aside from tartar sauce?

There are lots of options! This Marry Me sauce is pretty bangin’, but you can also use teriyaki sauce, spicy sriracha mayo , Baja sauce , pesto , tzatziki … just use your imagination!

What’s a good sun dried tomato alternative?

Sundried tomatoes have a unique, umami flavor that’s tough to replicate. You can try using oven roasted cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers, but neither has quite the same flavor intensity. To bump up the tomato-iness in the sauce if you use either of these options, consider using double-concentrated tomato paste that you sauté until it’s a shade or two darker, or use tomato powder or tomato bouillon instead of salt.

Is this creamy sun-dried tomato salmon spicy?

If spicy was on a scale of 10, I’d say this Marry Me salmon hovers around 5 — it’s got some kick, but it won’t blow your lid off. Feel free to adjust the amount of spice to suit your palette.

Ingredients

Scale

3–4 salmon fillets, skin removed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup chicken stock, unsalted
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
Fresh basil

Instructions

Add the seasonings to a small bowl – dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Combine thoroughly.
Add half of the seasoning mix to the salmon filets. Rub it into both sides thoroughly.
Next add the olive oil to a large skillet or pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon flesh side down first. Sear on each side for about 5 minutes. Once seared, remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the minced garlic and chopped sun dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Optional: Add a splash of the sun dried tomato oil as well. Turn the heat to low and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add the chicken stock and deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping up any brown bits.
Next add in the heavy cream, fresh parmesan cheese, and remaining seasoning mix. Combine thoroughly.
Raise the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add extra salt and pepper if needed.
Place the salmon back into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the salmon. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, depending on how you like your salmon cooked. Three minutes will be more medium and five will be more well done.
Serve and enjoy! Garnish with fresh basil.
