Seared Salmon With Tomatoes Recipe - Recipezazz.com

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 fillets (24 ounces) salmon (6 ounce filets, about one inch thick, I used about 1 pound salmon cut into 4 pieces so a bit smaller than called for)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 1 shallot, sliced (calls for 2/3 cup but I didn't measure and doubt that I used 2/3 cup - closer to 1/2 cup)
• 600 grams cherry tomatoes (sliced, 3 cups, used one pkg of cherry tomatoes which was closer to 2 cups)
• 1/2 cup basil leaves, torn (and divided)
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
