Pan Grilled Salmon with Tomato Salsa

As you may already know, my family and I love to eat salmon. The most common way I make salmon is by baking it with various toppings such as herbed mayo. Over the weekend, I saw a grill pan in the store and decided to buy it. I had an idea to make this pan grilled salmon with tomato salsa because it would be a different way of preparing our favorite fish. In this dish, the salmon is coated with olive oil and simply seasoned with seasoning salt. The fish is then pan grilled until it formed a nice crust. Although, the outside had a nice crust, the inside was still moist and tender. I knew from making another family favorite (7-up marinated pork chop) that this pan grilled salmon would taste great with a tomato salsa. The salsa ended up tasting great with the salmon especially the next day when the flavors became well blended. Enjoy!
