Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Cut the remaining half of the lemon into thin slices and place them on top of the salmon fillets.
Place the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves around the salmon on the baking sheet, drizzling them with a small amount of olive oil to coat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute before serving with the roasted tomatoes and spinach.
