Salmon Poached in Basil-Tomato Sauce

This recipe is from the cookbook "Levana's Table."  So easy, so good.  I pair it with sauted greens and rice.  Her secrets to having this come out fabulous are these. Use a wide skillet that the fish will fit snugly in one layer.  Don't cook the fish any longer than instructed.

This meal takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.
