Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) salmon fillet (skin-on, if preferred)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, minced garlic, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, and the lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly.
Spoon the tomato-olive mixture evenly around and on top of the salmon fillets in the baking dish.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and white wine (if using). Pour this mixture over the salmon and vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
