Recipe: Salmon Baked with Basil and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

SALMON BAKED WITH BASIL AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped leaks (use both the white and some of the green parts)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dried tomatoes, snipped into thin strips
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
pinch of ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons lemon juice or dry white wine
4 salmon fillets
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425.

In a large skillet, heat the oil and saute the leeks and garlic over low heat until they are soft.

Stir in the tomatoes, basil, nutmeg and heat this mixture through. Add the lemon juice or wine and cook for 1 more minute.

Oil a baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets, making sure they are in a single layer. Put in the fillets, then spoon the heated mixture over the fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork.
