Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup kalamata olives
- 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion slices, and minced garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables and season them evenly.
Distribute the seasoned vegetable mixture evenly around and on top of the salmon fillets.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the salmon fillets.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with a side of roasted potatoes, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
