Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• Four 4- to 5-ounce frozen skinless salmon fillets

Directions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.
2. Add the tomato paste, red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste darkens, about 1 minute.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes to the saucepan, mashing a few with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes split and soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the vinegar and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Add the salmon to the saucepan in a single layer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily when a paring knife is inserted between the layers, about 7 to 9 minutes.
6. Serve the salmon in shallow bowls with the tomato sauce ladled over. Enjoy!

Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special meal! ​

I think adding some garlic and basil would really complement the tomato flavor though!
