👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Tomatoe
Start by peeling your tomatoes and cutting them in half. Gently squeeze out the seeds and excess juice. Blend them lightly, then strain to separate the juice from the pulp. Keep both — they’ll create layers of flavor in the dish

In a small bowl, combine freshly chopped parsley and garlic. This simple mix adds a burst of freshness and aroma that defines the dish
3. Assemble the Dis
Drizzle olive oil across the base of your baking pan. Place the salmon fillet inside and season with salt and pepper. Coat it lightly with olive oil
Next, press the parsley-garlic mixture evenly over the salmon. Spoon the thicker tomato pulp over the top, then pour the smoother tomato juice around the base of the pan. Add a pinch of salt
4. Add the Crus
Sprinkle breadcrumbs generously over the salmon to create a golden, slightly crispy topping. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil
5. Bake to Perfectio
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
Bake for 15 minutes, then open the oven and spoon some of the sauce over the salmon to keep it juicy
Continue baking for another 25 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden and the sauce has thickened into a rich, flavorful base
