Salmon & Potatoes in Tomato Sauce

I have been getting a ton of great ideas from the "Everyday Food" magazine I get on a monthly basis.  They have creative dishes, and I really like how they have the nutritional value for each recipe.  This salmon dish was in the most recent issue, and I thought it was a different way to cook salmon so I decided to try it. 

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.  Add onion and garlic; and cook, stirring occasionally until onion is softened. 

Add tomatoes and juice, and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced.  

Add potatoes, olives and 1/2 cup of water to the skillet.  Partially cover and cook until the potatoes are almost tender, around 8 minutes.

Stir in parsley.

Season with salmon with salt and pepper; nestle among potatoes and sauce.  Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through and potatoes are tender.  

Serve salmon with potatoes and sauce.  This is a simple weeknight dinner, but delicious and good for you!  I really liked the salmon paired with the tomato sauce, cooking it all together adds a lot of flavor to the fish.  Enjoy!
