3-Step Execution Protocol

Preheat & Prep

Preheat dutch oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare salmon fillets (fresh center cut) (4 skinless salmon fillets (6 oz each), nestled into a simmering Mediterranean sauce of crushed tomatoes, kalamata olives, capers, and garlic in Dutch oven).

Cook

Cook for 14–18 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

Check & Rest

Salmon is tender and opaque throughout, easily flaking with a fork; internal probe registers 145°F. Confirm internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) internal. Rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Pro Tip: Spoon the warm tomato caper sauce over the salmon fillets before covering the Dutch oven so the top stays basted and moist throughout cooking.
