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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Scatter the halved tomatoes around and on top of the salmon fillets.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly over the salmon and tomatoes.

Step 6

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon and tomatoes.

Step 7

Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the entire dish for seasoning.

Step 8

Tear or roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top.

Step 9

Zest the lemon over the salmon, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze its juice evenly over the entire dish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Serve the Tomato Salmon Bake immediately with your choice of side, such as rice, quinoa, or a green salad.
