Ingredients
about 2 and 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
salt and black pepper, to taste
8-10 pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed oregano
For the Tomato & Onion Sauce:

1 large onion cut in half and thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, grated
28 ounces diced or crushed tomatoes
salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2-1 teaspoon granulated sugar or honey
1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 Β°F, 200 Β°C.

Make the Sauce:

Combine the onion and olive oil in a saucepan and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and golden. About 8-10 minutes.

Add the garlic and warm through a few seconds. Add the diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Transfer half of sauce into a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.

Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.

Place the fish over the sauce and top with the remaining sauce. Add the olives to the baking pan.

Bake on the center rack for about 25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.

Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley and dried oregano.

Serve with lemon wedges and toasted bread.

Enjoy and Kali Orexi!
