SAUTéED SALMON WITH LEEKS AND TOMATOES
Here is a fresh and simple way to prepare salmon that is ready in about 20 minutes. Most of that time will be spent preparing the vegetables. You do have to blanch, core and chop the tomatoes, but that is quick work. (We won't tell if you use the canned, diced sort instead. Just drain them first.) Once that's done, sauté the fish and set aside. Throw tomatoes, leeks, lemon juice and freshly ground pepper into the pan and sauté for a quick minute. Spoon over the fish and serve.

Steps:
- If there are any bones in the salmon, pull them out with tweezers and discard. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
- Trim off the stem ends of the leek. Cut the leek lengthwise into thin slices. Finely chop the leek. There should be about 1/3 cup.
- Drop the tomatoes into boiling water and let stand 9 to 12 seconds.
- Peel and remove the cores. Cut the flesh of the tomatoes into quarter-inch cubes. There should be about 1 1/4 cups.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over moderately high heat and add the salmon pieces skinned side up. Cook 2 minutes and then turn the pieces. If you want the salmon medium rare, cook the fish 2 minutes longer. Transfer the fish to a warm platter.
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the tomatoes and leek, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cook about 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the salmon and sprinkle with the coriander or basil.

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.
SALMON WITH TOMATOES
This savoury dish is very popular in Andalusia, Spain. You can use red pepper flakes (to your taste) in place of the hot pepper and any firm whitefish can be a substitute for the salmon. Great with rice and a green vegetable.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and higher in contaminants.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking can dry it out. To check for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of the salmon. If the flesh flakes easily, it is done.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. The tomatoes are the star of this dish, so make sure they are at their peak flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy.
- Sauté the tomatoes correctly. Do not overcrowd the pan when sautéing the tomatoes. This will cause them to steam instead of brown. Cook the tomatoes over medium heat until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Season the dish well. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for this dish. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, basil, or oregano.
Conclusion:
This salmon with sautéed tomatoes is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
