Mediterranean-Mexican Fusion Salmon with Cherry Tomato Salsa

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper on each side.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium heat for 2 minutes until melted and foamy.

3. 3

4. 4

   Remove salmon from the pan and set aside on a plate. Pour the white wine into the same pan and stir for 1-2 minutes to deglaze, then add the halved cherry tomatoes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

5. 5

   Stir the tomato mixture for 2-3 minutes until tomatoes soften slightly. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and stir until combined.

6. 6

   Place salmon back in the pan, spoon the cherry tomato salsa over the top, and cook for 1 more minute.

7. 7

   Plate the salmon and top with the warm cherry tomato salsa. Garnish with banana slices if desired.
