Salmon with olive oil and tomatoes. Hello everyone! I am back.
After what feels like an extended vacation away from my kitchen, I am back.
For the past few weeks, we have been so busy that dinner was always on the run or out.
I have to say; although I like that I did not have to clean the kitchen, I got tired of eating out.
It is easier for me to select a dinner menu for my family than a dinner from a menu.
Tonight a light salmon with an easy and delicious sauce over it.
Fresh tomatoes cooked with shallots and heavy cream are probably the best combination on my book.
First of all, remove all the seeds from the tomatoes. As a result, your sauce will be more dense and flavorful.
And since all the seeds contain most of the acidity, the removal will not require too much seasoning to balance the dish. A chiffonade of basil ties all the flavors together nicely.
Finishing the salmon rather than on the stovetop, as a result, your fish will be tender.
Ice cream for dessert is always welcome in my family. Affogato for me…..

- Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the salmon is opaque through, about 5 minutes more.
- To serve, mince the basil and stir into the sauce. Spoon several tablespoons of sauce in the center of a warmed dinner plate and place the salmon on top of the sauce. Serve warm immediately.
