My family has always been big on seafood, and this pan-fried salmon went over really well! The fresh tomato and basil topping complement the fillets beautifully.

Ingredients

4 salmon steaks (6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 large plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Hot cooked linguine

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook salmon in oil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, cook and stir onion until crisp-tender. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes, water, basil, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; carefully return salmon to the pan. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with linguine.

I used the recipe and made a piece of salmon steak and a piece of salmon filet. We like the filet much better. The steak felt very dry. I also added a bit of sherry vinegar to the tomato basil sauce.
