INGREDIENTS

300 g salmon fillet, cut into desired size
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp butter (or more)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 big fresh ripe tomatoes, diced
½ small green bell pepper, diced (optional)
1 cup basil leaves, chopped

DIRECTIONS

1. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
2. In a pan under medium heat, melt butter until it becomes bubbly. Add salmon fillet and brown both sides making sure that fish is just cooked through. Remove from pan and transfer in a plate.
3. In the same pan, saute garlic and onions in the remaining butter (Add more butter if needed). Add the tomatoes, bell pepper and a cup of water and bring to boil. Lower heat and let it simmer until it thickens and most water is gone. Stir from time to time.
4. Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, add the basil and season with salt and pepper if needed then remove from heat.
5. Either pour the sauce on top of the salmon or lay the salmon fillet on top of sauce.
