PAN-SEARED CRUSTED SALMON WITH CHERRY TOMATO-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, ground ginger, and cayenne and mix with 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of the oil to make a paste.
• Pat the paste on both sides of the salmon fillets and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a 12-inch heavy-based skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat.
• When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the fillets and cook until the bottom is well browned and the bottom half of the fish becomes opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn the fish and cook until browned on the second side and just cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer to a warm platter.
• Pour off all but a film of fat from the pan.
• Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, toss in the ginger, and pour the tomatoes over the fish.
• Put the pan over high heat.
• Add the wine and boil until reduced by half.
• Add the broth; boil until reduced by half again.
• Off the heat, swirl in the butter.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the sauce over the salmon and tomatoes, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve immediately.
