The following wild salmon recipe was sent in by Dagny lives in Juneau Alaska and fishes commercially for a living.

She writes: If you are looking for a way to add more salmon to your diet, here is fantastic recipe to try.   I realize that it is a little different from the usual grilling, but well worth the effort. It will convert even those who don’t think they like fish.  Please always buy  wild Alaskan salmon. For this recipe Chinook (King) is used.  Right now in April , spring King  is fresh on the market and is arguably the most delicious Alaskan salmon you will find.  This is also excellent for previously frozen salmon. My family fishes commercially so we always have access to salmon and love to try different ways to cook it. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1  whole king salmon fillet, OR  4 to 6 approximately 1-pound steaks OR  fillet pieces. This recipe is very adaptable.
2 14-ounce cans of stewed tomatoes
1 onion, cut into half-inch rings
1 clove garlic, crushed and chopped.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried.

Method:

Heat oven to 400
Place the salmon into a non-stick spray-coated glass pan. 
Heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat in a saute pan. Add the onion and saute for 2  or 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until the onions are softened.  Add the stewed tomatoes to the pan, cover and cook for 10 minutes. After removing from the hear, add the fresh basil. If you have dried basil, add it along with the tomatoes while cooking.
Pour the tomatoes over the salmon and bake. If you are using a whole fillet allow approximately 30 minutes for cooking.  Adjust your cooking time if cooking steaks or fillet pieces to approx 10 to 15 minutes. Check so you don’t overcook the fish.
Serve with rice and enjoy!
