For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Opt for fresh fillets for the best flavor, but frozen can be used if properly thawed.
For the Vegetables

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and thaw salmon fillets if frozen, patting them dry with paper towels.
  2. Grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  3. Spread halved tomatoes and sliced onions in the baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and add minced garlic, half of the salt and pepper. Toss well.
  4. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until tomatoes blister and onions soften.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on top of the roasted vegetables and sprinkle the remaining salt and pepper over top.
  6. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Transfer the salmon to plates, scooping up some roasted tomatoes and onions to serve.
