Ingredients

  • Salmon:
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (6-ounce) skinned salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • Cooking spray
  • Tomato jam:
  • 2 1/2 cups diced tomato
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup dried currants
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups hot cooked basmati rice

Method

  • To prepare salmon, combine the first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge salmon in flour mixture. Reserve remaining flour mixture for tomato jam.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add salmon; cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove salmon from pan; keep warm.
  • To prepare tomato jam, place pan over medium-high heat. Add tomato, onion, and ginger; saute 1 minute. Stir in reserved flour mixture, currants, and vinegar; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1 cup (about 10 minutes). Spoon 3/4 cup rice onto each of 2 plates; top each serving with 1 salmon fillet and 1/4 cup tomato jam.
  • Note: Store remaining tomato jam in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
