The Simple Roasted Salmon is the perfect way to celebrate the flavors of the season without much effort. Sweet corn, spicy tomatoes and fresh basil combined with roasted salmon – that’s the perfection of a fork!
Ingredients
-
- 2 salmon fillets, seasoned with salt and pepper
-
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
-
- 1 cup cooked fresh corn (or drained canned corn), chilled
-
- 2 TBS fresh basil, chopped
-
- ¼ cup feta cheese (optional- can be omitted)
-
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425*. Combine the cherry tomatoes, corn, basil, and feta cheese (optional) into a medium sized mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil (about ¼ cup) and stir to combine.
- Place the seasoned salmon fillets, skin side down, onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil to keep them moist while they roast.
- Depending on the size and thickness of your salmon fillet, they should bake anywhere from 10-15 minutes (generally about 5-6 minutes per ½” of thickness). You will know that they are done when they are light and flaky (you can use a fork to test).
- To serve, spoon the corn and tomato mixture onto the roasted salmon fillet. This dish is tasty when served over rice, couscous, or a bed of fresh arugula. Enjoy!
