Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Olives

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with juice), sliced olives, and capers. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Cook the Salmon

    Push the sauce to the side of the skillet and place the salmon fillets in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through.

    Once the salmon is cooked, sprinkle the chopped cilantro and lime juice over the dish. Serve immediately.
