3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
2 large fresh tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave, chopped
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 meyer lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons capers, drained

1/3 cup white wine
1/4 cup water

1 lb fresh salmon fillet

1
In a large, wide saucepan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3
Raise the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, and jalapeno peppers. Simmer for 10 minutes, adding a little water if needed to prevent the sauce from getting too dry. Salt and pepper to taste.
4
Add 1/3 a cup of white wine and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a simmer.
5
Place the fillets in the pan on top of the sauce, skin side down, if the fillets are still in their skin. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-10 minutes, depending on how thick the cuts of fish are. Poke the fish with a fork and look for doneness. The fish should still be somewhat rare in the middle, but not raw.
6
Serve immediately, with tomato sauce generously applied.
