Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup kalamata olives
• 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion slices, and minced garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables and season them evenly.

Step 4

Distribute the seasoned vegetable mixture evenly around and on top of the salmon fillets.

Step 5

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the salmon fillets.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a side of roasted potatoes, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
