# Tomato-Braised Salmon | Made In - Made In

Inspired by Vietnamese clay pot cooking, this saucy braise is full of sweet and spicy flavors, plus an added burst of umami from the addition of fish sauce.

As with vegetables, when braising fish, it’s best to choose a less delicate variety that won’t fall apart. Salmon is the perfect candidate, emerging from this stovetop braise perfectly tender and flaky. Fresh tomatoes not only add sweetness but also give this dish a beautiful red color. The bright and spicy flavors are rounded out with a few tablespoons of fish sauce for depth and umami.

Chef Peter Nguyen uses fish stock, but if you don’t have any on hand chicken or vegetable stock can be substituted. Our [Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven](https://madeincookware.com/products/dutch-oven) mimics a Vietnamese clay pot, with its tight-fitting Cloud Cover Lid redistributing moisture throughout the cooking process. This braise is on the more saucy side and works well over rice.
