Add a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking. Add garlic and stir for another 2 minutes. Remove onion mixture to a plate and set aside. Add pan back to the heat and add butter. Once butter is melted add chanterelle mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes. Reduce heat and cook another 3 minutes until mushrooms are soft and mushroom juices begin to collect in the pan. 5 Remove tomatoes from the oven and add them and the sauteed onion mixture to the pan of chanterelles. Stir over medium heat for just a couple minutes. 6 Heat another medium pan with remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add it  to the pan, flesh side down. Cook the salmon for 4 minutes (depending on thickness) flip and cook another 4 minutes, (again depending on thickness).
