Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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 a paper towel. Place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Scatter the halved tomatoes around and on top of the salmon fillets.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly over the salmon and tomatoes.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon and tomatoes.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the entire dish for seasoning.
Tear or roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top.
Zest the lemon over the salmon, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze its juice evenly over the entire dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Place the dish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Serve the Tomato Salmon Bake immediately with your choice of side, such as rice, quinoa, or a green salad.
