Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Good olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 cups (1 pint) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved through the stem
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons good balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
1 (2-pound) salmon fillet, cut crosswise into 4 pieces

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.
