👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add tomatoes; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Pour balsamic vinegar into tomato mixture; add basil.

Cook and stir tomato mixture until flavors blend, about 3 minutes.

Place salmon on a plate and top with tomato sauce.
