• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
• 2 large fresh tomatoes, diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave, chopped
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 meyer lemon, juice of
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno pepper (no seeds, no stem, no ribs)
• 1⁄3 cup white wine
• 1⁄4 cup water
• salt and pepper
• 1 lb fresh salmon fillet

directions

1. In a large, wide saucepan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, and jalapeño peppers. Simmer for 10 minutes, adding a little water if needed to prevent the sauce from getting too dry. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add 1/3 a cup of white wine and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a simmer.
5. Place the fillets in the pan on top of the sauce, skin side down, if the fillets are still in their skin. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-10 minutes, depending on how thick the cuts of fish are. Poke the fish with a fork and look for doneness. The fish should still be somewhat rare in the middle, but not raw.
6. Serve immediately, with tomato sauce generously applied.
