Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) salmon fillet (skin-on, if preferred)
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, minced garlic, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, and the lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Spoon the tomato-olive mixture evenly around and on top of the salmon fillets in the baking dish.

Step 6

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and white wine (if using). Pour this mixture over the salmon and vegetables.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
