Print Recipe

Tender, flaky salmon fillets bathed in a fiery yet perfectly balanced tomato sauce, kissed with garlic and herbs, and finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (fresh or frozen, skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 3 cloves garlic (freshly minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (high-quality, 14 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 small onion (finely diced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 lemon (freshly squeezed juice)

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the finely chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to develop its flavor. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
  5. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing the salmon.’, ‘Adjust the spice level to your preference.’, ‘Let the salmon rest after searing to retain its juices.’, ‘Add a pinch of sugar or splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce for more depth.’]
