I love this breaded and fried salmon recipe with Tuscan lemon sauce. It’s like a green cream sauce with sun dried tomatoes and it’s packed with flavor. This flaky fish with crunchy deep fried breading will satisfy all your taste buds.

Tuscan lemon cream sauce with sun dried tomatoes is mouthwatering. Sun dried tomatoes have such a uniquely superb flavor. They are made by placing ripe tomatoes in the sun for 4 to 10 days in order to lose most of their water content.

What I love about sun dried tomatoes other than flavor is that they keep a lot of their nutrients. They are rich in lycopene, vitamin C, and other antioxidants. It’s a lovely refreshing flavor with this fried salmon recipe. Other ingredients for the Tuscan lemon cream sauce with sun dried tomatoes includes salsa verde.

Green cream sauce with sun dried tomatoes is spicy and zesty.

This ingredient is green and very spicy! It’s a Mexican condiment made of tomatillo and green chili peppers. Something interesting about salsa verde is that it actually originated all the way back to the Aztec Empire! This fried salmon recipe also uses 6 (8 oz) skinless and boneless salmon fillets and 4 cups vegetable oil for deep frying.

You will also need 3 large eggs, 1 cup bread crumbs, and 1 cup all purpose flour. Don’t forget the 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp seasoned salt, 1/2 tbsp lemon pepper for the breading! The Tuscan lemon cream sauce with sun dried tomatoes requires the following ingredients: 1 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup salsa verde, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp lemon zest.

Also 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp cream, 1/2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp garlic flakes, and 1 tbsp dried basil flakes. The sauce ingredients I love the most with this fried salmon recipe include 1/2 tbsp dried oregano, 1/2 tbsp dried red bell peppers, 1/2 tbsp dried green bell peppers, and 1/2 tbsp onion powder.

Most importantly do not forget 2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Furthermore 2 tbsp cornstarch helps thicken and bulk up the fried fish breading.
