Thanks to Rosemary Zwick for this unlikely food funny:

A woman picked up a few grocery items in the supermarket, then headed
for the express line. The clerk had his back turned to her, so she said,
"Excuse me young man, I'm in a hurry. Could you check me out, please?"
The clerk turned around, looked her up and down and said, "Nice hairstyle lady."

To be perfectly honest, you can serve this sauce with any fish, or if
you want to stick to salmon (one of my favorites), you can cook it any
way you want because this dish is all about the sauce. In fact, you
don't even need to put it on fish because it's also great on chicken
breasts, pork chops, and patties and cutlets of all kinds. It's also
great all by itself as a topping for pasta.

Salmon in Tomato Cream Sauce

1 - 2 cans (15 oz, 425g each) chopped tomatoes with liquid
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half
1 Tbs (15 ml) anchovy paste
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste (optional)
4-6 salmon fillets, grilled, broiled, sauteed, or poached

Combine the tomatoes, cream, anchovy paste, salt, pepper, and optional
hot sauce in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer
uncovered until reduced by about a third, 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon over cooked salmon.
Serves 4 to 6.
