Directions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook salmon in the hot oil until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate saucepan over medium heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Pour balsamic vinegar into tomato mixture, add basil. Cook and stir tomato mixture until flavors blend, about 3 minutes.

  3. Place salmon on a plate and top with tomato sauce.

Recipe Note

A little twist on your basic salmon recipe. It's healthy, delicious, and a real crowd pleaser! Make extra because everyone will want seconds! This recipe goes great over couscous. If you are like me and love tomatoes, add 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup.
