A vibrant Mediterranean Salmon dish that combines salmon fillets with cherry tomatoes, olives, and garlic for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skin on or off, about 4 to 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup black olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place the fillets in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
  3. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil and lemon juice.
  4. Scatter minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, and black olives around the salmon.
  5. Season everything with salt, pepper, and sprinkle parsley over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily.
  7. Serve hot and garnish with extra parsley and lemon if desired.

Notes

Choose firm, bright-colored salmon for best texture. Sear skin-side down for extra crispiness if using skin-on fillets. This recipe is adaptable; you can swap parsley for fresh basil or dill.
