My kids usually like salmon, so decided to try a new salmon recipe- from Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Foolproof cookbook. The adults liked it, but my kids didn't like it as much probably because they aren't a huge fan of tomatoes. Thought it turned out pretty good through and would definitely try this again. I made the cherry tomato sauce earlier in the day. All I had to do before dinner was reheat the cherry tomato sauce and pan-fry the salmon!
