Salmon with tomato olive sauce

December 24th, 2010
    Ingredients
  • 1 x 400g can diced tomatoes with basil (Val Verde brand)
  • 80g pitted kalamata olives in brine, drained, halved
  • 2 tbs fresh oregano leaves
  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 4 medium (about 150g each) coliban (washed) potatoes, cut crossways into 2cm-thick slices
  • 4 (about 125g each) salmon cutlets
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method
Combine tomato, olives, half the oregano and 1 tsp of the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
Meanwhile, bake the potato in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return to the pan and cover to keep warm.
Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare or until bakeed to your liking. Transfer to a plate and use your fingers to carefully remove the skin.
Divide potato among serving plates. Top with salmon and spoon over tomato & olive sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining oregano and serve immediately.
