Salmon Sauce

-


This recipe my mom taught me how to make and my family loves it. It's a nutritious meal whipped together in no time flat. It's perfect meal for unexpected company.

Ingredients:

Salmon -preferably the ones they sell frozen in cut portions vacuumed sealed
4 to 6 pieces **Note- Fresh salmon works well to cut into individual portions
1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes- **Note- If you want more sauce add another the 8 oz can of tomato sauce or add fresh tomatoes or add a can of 12 oz tomatoes
3 or 4 cloves garlic chopped
2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 or 3 tablespoons of capers
1 pinch of oregano
1 pinch crushed red pepper- optional
fresh basil 3 or 4 leaves
Salt and pepper to you taste.
1/2 to 1 cup of Kalamata olives that are pitted-if you can't find pitted you can pit them yourself -if you want you can chop them a little if not don't worry about it.
add a little of the juice from the jar of olives -it has good flavor.

Directions:

In a shallow pan or pot add your olive oil on medium heat.
Add the garlic saute until golden brown.
Add the oregano and red pepper- optional.
Add the tomatoes.
Bring to a boil then lower the heat-add a little water to the pot-
Let the sauce cook for about 20 to 25 min.
Add the capers and the olives and a little juice from the jar-stir
Add the salmon.
Let the sauce simmer 15-20 min -until the salmon becomes pink or opaque in color
You may turn it over but be careful not to break them.
Add the basil and salt and pepper to your taste.

Meanwhile -cook your linguine (1 lb-1 1/2 lbs) when it's done drain and add a little olive oil to the pasta this will prevent it from sticking together
Put the pasta in your serving dish first then add your salmon on top with the sauce this way the pieces won't fall apart.
Serves 4- 6
