Here’s a great way to cook those freshly caught salmon. Poach it up in tomatoes, onion, lemons and caper sauce. Simply delicious!

INGREDIENTS      

    * 3 Tbsp olive oil
    * 1 medium onion, chopped
    * 2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
    * 2 large fresh tomatoes, diced
    * 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
    * 2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
    * The juice of one meyer lemon, or half a regular lemon with a teaspoon of sugar
    * 2 Tbsp of capers, drained

    * 1 teaspoon of chopped jalapeño peppers (no seeds, no stem, no ribs) either fresh or pickled
    * 1/3 cup white wine
    * 1/4 cup water
    * Salt and pepper
    * 2 fresh salmon fillets, 1/2 lb each

DIRECTIONS      

• Put oil in a large, wide saucepan and heat over medium settings. Put onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until it browns a bit. Mix in the garlic and cook for one minute. Increase heat over medium-high and add in the tomatoes, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, and jalapeño peppers. Allow simmering for about 10 minutes and you may add a bit of water to prevent the sauce from drying up too much. Add salt and pepper according to taste.
• Put 1/3 cup of white wine. Mix in ¼ cup of water and allow simmering Arrange the fillets over the sauce with the skin of the fish facing down if you haven’t removed the skin. Put a cover then set heat to medium low. Let it cook for about 5 to 10 minutes which would actually depend on how the salmon has been cut. Use a fork to poke the fish and determine if they are done. The fish should be a bit rare but not at all raw. Serve while hot and top with a generous amount of tomato sauce. Makes up to 4 servings.
