SALMON & MELTING CHERRY TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Stir in the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the tomato sauce thickens slightly. Off the heat, stir in the vinegar and basil.
- Meanwhile, place a large (12-inch) cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Brush the salmon all over with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and place it skin side up in the pan. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them, until browned. Turn the salmon skin side down with a small metal spatula and transfer the pan to the oven for 8 minutes. (The salmon will not be completely cooked through.) Remove the fish to a serving platter, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Reheat the tomatoes, season to taste, and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature along with the salmon.

Tips:
- Mise en place: To ensure a smooth cooking process, prepare all ingredients and have them ready before starting to cook the salmon.
- Choose the right salmon: Opt for fresh or frozen salmon fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. If using frozen salmon, thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water.
- Season well: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A generous amount of pepper and garlic powder will add lots of flavor to the salmon.
- Cook the salmon to perfection: Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, but not overcooked. This will help maintain its moist and flaky texture.
- Use a good quality tomato sauce: A flavorful and tangy tomato sauce will elevate the dish. You can use a homemade sauce or a store-bought one that you enjoy.
- Wilt the spinach just before serving: Wilting the spinach quickly in the hot sauce will help it retain its vibrant color and nutrients.
