Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 salmon fillets deskinned
  • 1 tsp salt divided
  • 1 tsp black pepper divided
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp double concentrated tomato paste
  • ½ cup green olives pitted
  • 1 can (14 oz/400 g) crushed tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Get your prep done before you start cooking. Pat the salmon fillets dry, season both sides with paprika, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.

  • Add fish sauce, oregano and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir in tomato paste and add olives. Pour in crushed tomatoes and bring the sauce to a boil.
  • Return salmon fillets to the skillet and allow to simmer for 3 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through.
  • Serve topped with red pepper flakes, freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
