Steps
Step 1
Set oven to broil.
Step 2
Spray whole tomatoes with avocado oil and season them with a pinch of sea salt & pepper. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 10- 12 minutes, or until soft and blistered. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat of the oven to 400F.
Step 4
Season salmon filet with a bit of olive oil and Sea blend.
Step 5
Set a skillet on high heat. Once hot, add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, then add the salmon fillet skin-side UP. Sear the salmon for 1 – 2 minutes, then remove from the skillet.
Step 6
Reduce the heat of the skillet to medium. Once the skillet has cooled down, add remaining olive oil, onion, garlic and capers. Caramelize for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onions have turned slightly brown and translucent.
Step 7
Add the roasted tomatoes to the skillet. Use the spatula to gently press on the tomatoes so they explode to create a natural tomato sauce.
Step 8
Once all the tomatoes have exploded to create a sauce, add chicken broth and tomato paste, then stir to create a tomato sauce. Bring the sauce to a light simmer and add the remaining ingredients, frequently stirring. If you desire a thicker sauce, add another tablespoon of tomato paste. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add tablespoons of vegetable or chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
Step 9
Nestle the salmon in the skillet with the tomatoes, then bake for 8 – 10 minutes at 400F.
Step 10
Garnish and enjoy!
