Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets, skin-on
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 unit Lemon, zest and juice
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the fillet releases easily from the pan.
Step 3
Flip the fillets and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through (it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork). Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
Step 6
Stir in the red wine vinegar, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the vinaigrette come together.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves.
Step 8
To serve, place a salmon fillet on each plate and spoon the tomato vinaigrette over the top. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
