For a deeper flavor, consider using roasted tomatoes instead of fresh. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a subtle kick to the sauce. Serve over couscous, quinoa, or a bed of fresh spinach for a complete and healthy meal. Fresh oregano or thyme can be used in addition to, or in place of, basil for a different flavor profile.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Salmon: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place salmon fillets in the hot oil and cook until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 5-7 minutes per side. (Total time: 10-14 minutes)
02
StepSauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In a separate saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until heated through and softened, about 5 minutes.
03
StepCreate the Balsamic-Basil Sauce: Pour the balsamic vinegar into the tomato mixture and stir to combine. Add the sliced basil and cook, stirring frequently, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. (Total time: 4 minutes)
04
StepAssemble and Serve: Place the cooked salmon fillets on a plate and generously top with the vibrant tomato sauce. Serve immediately.
