Different Take on My Dad's Salmon w/Onions, Tomatoes & Garlic

Dinner tonight = good. Not as flavorful as last night, though I will try this again and add more spices and a little more salt. Not much, though! Salt isn't good for you in large amounts. See photo below.

My dad has always made this salmon dish in a frying pan. He adds fresh tomatoes sliced up, several cloves of garlic, an onion chopped up, a handful of fresh basil and white wine. Sometimes he's added lemon slices which I'm not a fan of. Anyway, tried that this evening with white fish we have that you get in large frozen packs from Costco or somewhere like that. It's economical and they defrost quickly.

Defrost the fish, or use fresh fish. Do everything like my dad does to the salmon above on high heat. Make sure you have a little olive oil in the pan. Put the fish in the pan, then add all your vegetables, except the basil. Put that in when you have 1 min. cooking time. Also add about 1 tsp salt or Kosher salt, tsp oregano, dash pepper.



Served this over bow tie pasta, but you can use whatever pasta works for you, even orzo rice. That would be good. Make sure the fish and veggies are very flavorful in the pan when you try them. The pasta tones this mixture down considerably.

This is good, easy to make and healthy. yay!
