Poached Mediterranean Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1.5 pound) salmon fillet, skin removed and quartered
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped rinsed capers
1 tablespoon chopped ripe black olives
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil

Preparation

Combine lemon juice, capers, olives, vinegar, garlic, and enough water to cover the salmon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and add salmon. Reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer, covered, until salmon is opaque and easily flaked with a fork, about 10 minutes.
Remove salmon from the liquid. Let liquid simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and basil; cook and stir the sauce until tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over the salmon to serve.
