For this holiday, I&#8217;ve decided to go light on cooking. I&#8217;ve been making easy breezy dishes for the past few days. Well, the dishes are not just easy to make, but they are made in a healthy way and in a delicious way as well. Yesterday, I made this salmon in tomato sauce. It was absolutely easy to make and it tasted absolutely delicious. I am sure whenever I buy salmon or any other fish I&#8217;ll be tempted to make this dish. I got this recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks by Rafi Fernandez. The original recipe used Cod and grilled the fish, while I used salmon and pan fried it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Salmon in Tomato Sauce Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10014\" title=\"Salmon in Tomato sauce\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Salmon-in-Tomato-sauce.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Salmon-in-Tomato-sauce.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Salmon-in-Tomato-sauce-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Salmon-in-Tomato-sauce-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recipe Courtesy: Rafi Fernandes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For coating the salmon<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Salmon- 4 steaks<\/li>\n<li>Corn starch- \u00a02 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Garlic powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Chili powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Fennel powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Coriander powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong>For pan frying<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Olive oil- 2 tbsp for pan frying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For making sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Bay leaves- 2<\/li>\n<li>Whole pepper corns- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Whole cinnamon- 1-inch slice<\/li>\n<li>Tomato sauce- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li>Garam masala- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Chili powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Garlic, minced- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ginger, minced- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Water- 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li>Cilantro, chopped- 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li>Mint, chopped- 5 leaves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong>Instruction<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<ol>\n<li>In a bowl, combine corn starch, garlic powder, chili powder, coriander powder, fennel powder and salt.\u00a0Coat the salmon evenly with the spices.<\/li>\n<li>Place a non-stick pan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp oil.<\/li>\n<li>Place the coated salmon on the pan and pan fry till both sides turn light brown, about 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Combine the tomato sauce with garam masala, chili powder and water<strong>,<\/strong> keep it aside.<\/li>\n<li>Place a wok over medium heat, add oil.<\/li>\n<li>Add bay leaves, whole pepper corns and whole cinnamon; saute for a minute.<\/li>\n<li>Add minced garlic and ginger; saute till light golden in color.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the tomato sauce to the wok, let come to a light boil.
