Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the salmon in a bit of lemon juice and herbs before cooking. If time allows, let the sauce rest for a few extra minutes to ensure it thickens to your desired consistency. Always taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, especially when working with sun-dried tomatoes, as they can vary in saltiness.
