Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, (divided)
  • 2, 4- to 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1 ½ cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves, (or 2 tablespoons dried basil)
  • 2 tablespoons capers

Instruction

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
  • Add the salmon, skin-side down, and tomatoes, then season with the salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip the salmon and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and no longer translucent in the thickest part.
  • Mince the basil and capers together to encourage them to blend. Transfer to a small bowl, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir well, and mash with a fork to combine.
  • Divide the salmon, tomatoes, and basil- caper mixture between 2 plates, and serve.
