Poached salmon in savory tomato-caper sauce with white wine. Fast, simple, and nutritious!
Ingredients:
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
  • 2 large fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of capers, drained
  • 1 teaspoon of chopped jalapeño peppers (no seeds, no stem, no ribs) either fresh or pickled
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 fresh salmon fillets, 1/2 pound each
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Boost the heat to medium-high and introduce the tomatoes, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, ensuring the sauce stays moist by adding a splash of water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Pour in 1/3 cup of Chardonnay, followed by 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a simmer.
  • Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on top of the sauce in the pan. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 4-7 minutes, depending on thickness. Check for doneness by poking with a fork. The fish should be slightly rare in the center. Serve with a generous amount of tomato sauce.
