Ingredients
4 small fresh salmon fillets (can use frozen - just thaw overnight in fridge)3 tbsp olive oil1 small onion, sliced thin or diced1 clove garlic, mincedpinch of salt and pepper2 large cans diced tomatoes2 tbsp tomato paste3 cups fresh spinach, sliced into ribbons2 medium lemons1 tbsp (or to taste) dried or fresh tarragon leaves
Directions
In a large skillet/fryer (w/lid) heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute onion and garlic until soft (5-7 minutes). Add the canned tomatoes and paste, zest of two lemons, tarragon, and a pinch of salt and pepper (to taste) and bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, season your salmon fillets lightly with a tiny bit of salt and pepper. Once the sauce has come together nicely, add the spinach and stir well. Then place the salmon fillets on top of the sauce, squeeze the juice of your two lemons over the top and cover with a tight lid. Allow the salmon to steam/poach until just firm in the center (about 4-6 minutes) no need to turn them.
Remove from heat promptly and serve immediately (optional garnish with lemon wedges or additional tarragon) over cooked pasta.

    I really loved this recipe, thanks for sharing it! I didn't have tarragon so I substituted in fresh basil leaves and I used half the amount of lemon and it turned out just to our tastes. Will make again for sure! - 11/27/08

    This recipe was delicious. I served it over brown rice. I didn't have lemon or tarragon so added a splash of wine instead of lemon and fresh basil instead of tarragon. - 11/6/08
