SALMON TOMATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Put the salmon flesh side down in a large cold non-stick frying pan and place on a medium-high heat.
  2. As the pan comes up to temperature and the salmon begins to sizzle (about 3 minutes), flip it over and cook on the skin side for 5 minutes, or until very crisp and just cooked (depending on its thickness).
  3. Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes, tear up most of the basil leaves, then toss it all with 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Squash the olives and discard the stones, then finely chop the flesh. Mix with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of water.
  5. Finely slice the chorizo, add to the pan for the last 2 minutes, then toss in the dressed tomatoes for 30 seconds.
  6. Divide between your plates, with the salmon on top. Spoon over the dressed olives and pick over the remaining basil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss together oil, tomatoes, garlic, and 4 basil leaves. Season with salt. Bake until tomatoes are just wilted, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 275 degrees.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper; place, skin-side down, in dish with tomatoes. Spoon pan juices over fish and bake until just cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 120 degrees, about 15 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with remaining basil leaves.
