Sprinkle fillets with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. Bring 4 cups (1L) water just to a boil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Reduce heat, and add fillets; cover and simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Remove fillets from skillet using a slotted spatula and place on a serving platter. Set aside; keep warm.

Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add shallots and garlic; saute 1 minute. Add wine, and cook until reduced by half. Stir in tomato, 2 tbsp (30 mL) chives, lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt and white pepper. Spoon sauce evenly over salmon fillets, and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired
