Add the tomatoes, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, salt and pepper and cook until the tomatoes begin to burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add a splash of wine to create a sauce. Add the olives and slide the salmon back into the skillet to warm throughout. 4. Serve the salmon with a side of veggies and any sauce left in the skillet. Garnish with fresh oregano.
