One-Pan Creamy Tomato Salmon with Chorizo

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

One-pan creamy tomato salmon with chorizo. In this recipe, the salmon is pan seared for a crispy exterior, then cooked in a delicious creamy tomato sauce and sprinkled with crunchy chorizo. So comforting and super easy to make! This 30-minute dish is the perfect solution for an easy dinner. It’s hearty and begs to be served with crusty bread or a side salad. What’s even better is that it comes together in one single skillet.

The creamy tomato sauce is a few-ingredient sauce that explodes with flavors. It’s the perfect complement to any rich fish like salmon. While many recipes start by cooking the fish first, this version takes a different approach. That’s because it’s all about the flavors.

We start by frying the chorizo for a few minutes to kick up the flavor, and then comes the good part. We use the chorizo oil to sear the salmon fillets and prepare the sauce. The whole dish stays interesting thanks to a mix of textures you’ll get in every bite. Sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan make up the sauce, with a few dashes of spices and fresh oregano to give it a complex flavor. Happy cooking!
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by step-VIDEO.

RECIPE NOTES

  • skinless salmon is the go-to in this recipe, but if you want to make this with a crispy skin salmon, no problem! Add the salmon with skin-side up at the end and try not to pour the sauce over the crispy skin, as it softens fast
  • we use Parmesan to add depth of flavor and also to thicken the sauce. Try to finely grate your own parmesan to ensure it melts properly into the sauce. Store-bought, pre-shredded parmesan won’t melt properly
  • instead of fresh oregano, use thyme or basil
  • serve with a leafy salad and some crusty bread or Crispy Baked Potatoes

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 100 g/3.5 ounce spicy Spanish chorizo sausage, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 250 ml/1 cup puréed tomatoes
  • 200 ml/3/4 cup cream 20% fat
  • 40 g/1.5 ounce grated Parmezan
  • 120 g/4.5 ounce semi sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped oregano
  • salt + black pepper

Instructions

    1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove, leaving the oil in the pan and set aside.
    2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season all over with salt and pepper. Add to the same pan and sear, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
    3. In the same skillet, add shallot and garlic, cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce and bring to a simmer, allow to cook for 5 minutes.
    4. Stir in cream, parmesan, oregano and sun-dried tomatoes, simmer for about 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Add salmon back into the skillet. Allow to cook for 3 more minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
    5. Serve topped with fresh oregano and crispy chorizo. Enjoy!

    This recipe is incredible. I have made it twice in 10 days! I subbed the cream for coconut milk and it still tastes amazing. I will definitely be making this even more in the future.

    This dish is amazing! I’ve made it without the sausages and I added broccoli to it, it tasted incredibly delicious! 🤤 Would it be good with some anchovies added as well?

      So happy you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for making it! I think anchovies would work well here, just be careful with the extra salt;) Happy cooking!

    My 14 year old daughter made this for Sunday lunch yesterday. She’s a reluctant cook so quick and tasty recipes are the order of the day to encourage her. She served it with pasta and broccoli and it was a huge hit with all of us. I mentioned that you’re the same person who created a few other dishes we love as a family and that helped before she’d even started. Top marks *****

    This is great! I couldn’t find light cream so I used regular. It made it a heavy meal but definitely didn’t take away from the taste. I added chopped marinaded Greek olives and it came away adding a fantastic briney taste to the dish. Highly recommend!
