Pour balsamic vinegar into tomato mixture, add basil. Cook and stir tomato mixture until flavors blend, about 3 minutes.

Recipe Note

A little twist on your basic salmon recipe. It's healthy, delicious, and a real crowd pleaser! Make extra because everyone will want seconds! This recipe goes great over couscous. If you are like me and love tomatoes, add 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup.
