Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss together tomatoes, shallot, vinegar, capers, and 1/2 tsp salt.
2. Heat 1 tbs evoo in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place fillets in skillet, skin side up. Cook until well-browned on bottom, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets. Transfer skillet to pre-heated oven, and roast until salmon is cooked through, about 7 mins. Divide among 4 plates and discard any fat left in skillet.
3. Return skillet to medium heat and add tomato mixture, remaining 2 tbs evoo, canola oil, and cumin.
Cook, stirring to scrape up bits stuck to bottom, just until tomatoes soften, about 2 mins. Top salmon with sauce and sprinkle with parsley and basil.
