How to Make Pepper Crusted Salmon With Pinto Beans Corn And Tomatoes

  1. Sprinkle the top side of a 6-ounce salmon fillet with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon black pepper.
  2. Gently press the spices into the fish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or longer if time allows).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), and 1 cup frozen corn.
  5. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, 1/4 cup of the liquid from the tomato can, and 1/4 cup tomato sauce.
  7. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. While the sauce simmers, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Place the salmon fillet, seasoned side down, in the hot skillet.
  11. Cook for 4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  12. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  13. Serve the salmon over the pinto bean and tomato sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
