Pan-Seared Salmon with Fennel and Dill Salsa

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 Large Tomato, Chopped
  • 1/2 Bulb Fennel, Finely Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Onion, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Dill, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt, Divided
  • 1 Pound Salmon Fillet, Skinned
  • Fresh Ground Pepper to Taste
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
DIRECTIONS:
  • Combine tomato, fennel, onion, dill, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cut salmon into 4 equal portions, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over high heat and cook the salmon, skinned-side up, until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn the salmon over and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Allow the salmon to finish cooking off the heat until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Serve immediately with the salsa.
The almost sour taste of the salsa balances the natural sweetness of the seared salmon. Eat this when hungry. Under 290 calories per serving!
Enjoy!
