 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.
