Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Prepared horseradish
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet.

Step 3

Cook the salmon for 5-6 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the skin becomes crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through. Remove 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 sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and burst.

Step 6

Stir in the prepared horseradish, red wine vinegar, and honey. Mix well and let the mixture cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley to complete the vinaigrette.

Step 8

To serve, place a salmon fillet on each plate and spoon the horseradish tomato vinaigrette over the top. Serve immediately.
