Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 3 pcs large salmon steaks (200 – 250 g each)
  • 2 400 g can Italian style chopped tomatoes
  • 4 pcs Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • handful of roughly torn basil
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • salt
  • olive oil

Instruction

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper all around the salmon steaks.
  • Place heavy pan on stove top over high heat, add oil and once it is near its smoking point add the salmon and pan fry on each side until its golden brown and crispy, make sure you use a thick pan so it browns fast on the outside but still a bit raw inside. Set salmon aside.
  • Using the same pan, add more olive oil if needed then sauté garlic and onions until onions are soft.
  • Add the tomatoes, sugar and basil, cook until tomatoes are soft.
  • Pour the Italian style chopped tomatoes and dried oregano then bring it to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes covered.
  • Mix in the red wine vinegar then season with freshly ground black pepper and salt.
  • Place salmon in an oven proof dish then pour chunky tomato sauce on top, place in a 230C preheated oven then bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven then serve immediately.
