Brush the salmon portions with some of the olive oil.
Combine the salt and pepper (reserve a few dashes for cooking the tomatoes)
Season the salmon with the salt and pepper mixture. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Note: I usually prep the veggies during this wait time.
In a large enough saute pan with a lid, add the olive oil and heat over medium flame.
Add the onions and saute 2 minutes until translucent and aromatic.
Add the garlic, tarragon and dill. Saute up to 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes. Season with the reserved dash of salt and pepper. Mix. Cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
Add the lime juice and zest. Cover and cook up to 2 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
Add the salmon and spoon some of the sauce over them. Cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes. over medium to medium low heat.
Turn off the stove. Spoon some more of the sauce over the salmon. Cover and wait up to 2 minutes before serving.
Plate, garnish with dill and if prefered, serve with a side of vegetables. Enjoy.

These servings are large so depending on your appetite you can get up to 4 servings, which lowers the overall calories.
