Sautéed Salmon With Leeks And Tomatoes Recipes

SAUTéED SALMON WITH LEEKS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• If there are any bones in the salmon, pull them out with tweezers and discard. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
• Trim off the stem ends of the leek. Cut the leek lengthwise into thin slices. Finely chop the leek. There should be about 1/3 cup.
• Drop the tomatoes into boiling water and let stand 9 to 12 seconds.
• Peel and remove the cores. Cut the flesh of the tomatoes into quarter-inch cubes. There should be about 1 1/4 cups.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over moderately high heat and add the salmon pieces skinned side up. Cook 2 minutes and then turn the pieces. If you want the salmon medium rare, cook the fish 2 minutes longer. Transfer the fish to a warm platter.
• Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the tomatoes and leek, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cook about 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the salmon and sprinkle with the coriander or basil.

Steps:

• Season the salmon with salt and pepper.

Add in tomato halves around salmon and continue cooking for 2 minutes, or until salmon is cooked to your preference.
• Remove the salmon from the pan and place on a platter. Add white wine to the pan and cook for 45 seconds with the tomatoes. Add in dill and stir. Serve the sauteed tomatoes over the salmon. Pass the lemon wedges at the table.
