Salmon With Tomato Vinaigrette image

One of "30 Best Fast Recipes Ever" as dubbed by Food & Wine. This is from Ted Allen's cookbook The Food You Want to Eat. Definitely not a salad as the title suggests, but more like a chunky sauce of tomatoes, capers, shallots and cumin to perfectly compliment the salmon.

Time 20m

Yield 4 fish fillets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 (7 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin
fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon chopped basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with the shallot, capers, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet, skin side up.
  • Cook over moderately high heat until well-browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Transfer the fish to plates and pour off any fat in the skillet.
  • Place the skillet over moderate heat and add the tomato mixture along with the cumin, canola oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook, scraping up any bits stuck to the skillet, until the tomatoes just soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce over the salmon, sprinkle with the parsley and basil and serve right away.
