So our family goal of getting more fish in our lives is going really well! We have tried a handful of different recipes for salmon alone that are amazing!
This recipe is one of my favorites! (And I got my hubby to eat diced tomatoes…AHHH! Yay!)
And if you’re thinking that tomatoes and salmon won’t be a good combination, let me tell you that it’s actually amazing! Try it yourself, I know you’re gonna love it!
Ingredients
- 3-4 (5 oz.) raw salmon filets, frozen
- 1 can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Thaw frozen salmon. (I use warm water and individually packaged salmon filets)
- In a medium bowl, add diced tomatoes (including juice), chickpeas, salt, pepper, basil and garlic and mix well.
- Spray a large skillet with olive oil and turn stove to medium heat.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of salmon and place salmon in the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side and flip salmon over.
- Layer tomato mixture on top of salmon and cook for another 5 minutes.
- (You can check the salmon with a thermometer - it should be at least 145 degrees)
- Serve salmon warm and enjoy!
TIPS: If you don’t want as strong of a garlic taste, use 1 tsp. garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. We also loved this salmon with cauliflower rice and edamame, and a lovely side salad! Can you say veggies?!
