Pan Roasted Salmon and Tomatoes Recipe

4

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds salmon steaks, about 3/4 inch thick
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil

Preparation

Step 1

Dredge the fish in the flour. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the fish and brown about 3 minutes on each side.

Carefully lift the fish out of the skillet and set it aside on a platter; sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and garlic to the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and return the fish to the pan. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork or the tip of a knife.

Remove the fish to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Increase heat to high, add the basil, and reduce the sauce, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes
