Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes around and on top of the salmon fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top of the salmon and tomatoes.
Serve the salmon with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
