Salmon in spicy tomato sauce

Salmon is one of my favorite quick weeknight meal to put together when am tired of eating chicken. It makes for a flavorful dinner. This is a nice change from my usual grill salmon.

Here salmon is seared in a pan about 2 minutes per side to ensure an even cooking. Then it is simmered in a spicy l tomato sauce consisting of, garlic, ginger parsley, paprika, onions, curry, white pepper and scotch bonnet or habanera pepper for an extra kick. If preparing this dish for kids you may omit the pepper completely.

Salmon in spicy tomato sauce

I like to use skin-on salmon it helps keep the salmon, moist, in tact and is quite visually appealing and oh-so-tasty! You may remove the skin if you like.

Serve with some crusty French bread, rice and/or vegetables and everyone would enjoy a complete meal.

    This recipe will be in the “rotation” forever! The salmon was moist and flavorful with a great punchy sauce to pour over rice or veggies. Delish! Thank you for sharing.
