  Preparation time: 30 minutes

  Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash and pat dry salmon steaks.
  
  In a large, deep, ovenproof skillet or stovetop casserole over
  medium-high heat, saute salmon briefly on each side in butter and
  oil, about 1 minute. Remove to a platter. Add saffron, garlic,
  tarragon, thyme, sage, bay leaves, tomatoes, olives, wine, fish
  stock, and salt substitute. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer
  for 10 minutes, uncovered.
  
  Add salmon steaks. Remove pan from heat and place in oven. Bake
  until salmon is lightly pink and done to taste, 10 minutes.
  
  To serve, place salmon steaks on platter and spoon sauce over them.
