Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 oz salmon cut into fillets
  • 4 large Roma tomatoes diced
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika optional
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅓ cup water
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsle

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and cook for a few seconds.
  • Then add tomato, paprika (optional) and cook 7-8 min. or until softens.
  • Add water and bring mixture to boil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place salmon fillets in the sauce and cook for about 2-3 min. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 min.
  • Finally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  1. In this recipe, I used frozen salmon. I thawed it naturally and then cut into total 4 small fillets.
  2. Mash tomatoes once soft and before adding salmon to get a nice and smooth consistency of the sauce. You can use the back of a wooden spatula for this job.
  3. Cook the sauce until you get desired consistency.
