Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes, peeled and seeded*
- salmon fillet
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄4 cup dry white wine

Directions
- Place peeled and seeded* tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Process until a chunky purée is formed; set aside.

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter and when foam subsides, place salmon, skin-side up in pan. Brown on both sides, until fish is just cooked through, about 6 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets. Transfer to plate and hold warm.
