I came up with this recipe as a break from my family's usual salmon dish. As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. In this case, it's also really tasty.

Ingredients
4 servings
- 2 large fillets of centre-cut salmon, deboned and skin-on
- 1 shallot, very thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Chopped fresh parsley or chopped fresh dill for garnish
Steps
- Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and a small pat of butter to a large nonstick pan on medium heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and lay the fillets in the pan skin-side down. Sear for 4 minutes then flip over and sear another 4 minutes. Remove the salmon to a plate, skin-side up.
- Using the same pan, saute the shallots for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and continue frying for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and fry another 1 minute.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and stir the cream into the pan. Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a splash of water. Once the sauce reaches a low simmer, whisk in the slurry. Let simmer a minute, then check the seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Carefully peel the skin off the salmon fillets and lay them back in the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle in the cherry tomatoes and let cook 1 more minute. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs.
