How To Make Salmon with Tomato, Olive and Caper Sauce

This recipe is so easy and so full of flavor!

Heat your favorite skillet over medium-high heat. Add only a teaspoon or two of olive oil. Olive oil tends to smoke a little so don’t use too much. Place salmon filets in skillet skin side down.

Cook until the pink comes up about 3/4 of the way up the filet about 6 – 7 minutes. Then flip and cook another 2 – 3 minutes.

Transfer salmon to plate and let rest while you prepare the sauce.

Using the same pan, add in tomatoes, olives and capers over medium heat.

Stir and cook for 2 – 3 minutes, then add 1/4 cup of white wine. Cook sauce for another 5 – 8 minutes until tomatoes blister.

Pour sauce over the salmon and serve! So easy and so tasty!

Hope you enjoy!!
