Ingredients

  • 3 pounds fresh or frozen salmon fillet(s), skinned if desired

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 4 cups grape tomatoes

  • ½ cup thinly sliced shallots

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Lightly coat a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In the baking dish, combine tomatoes, shallots, garlic, oregano, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Toss to coat.

  3. Roast, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Place salmon, skin side down, on top of the tomato-shallot mixture. Sprinkle salmon with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast, uncovered, for 15 to 18 minutes or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork. Use two large pancake turners to transfer the salmon to a cutting board.

  4. Reserve two-thirds of the cooked salmon for another meal (see Tip).

  5. If desired, use the turners to lift the salmon meat off the skin and onto a large platter; discard skin. Serve the remaining salmon with the tomato-shallot mixture.

Tips

Tip: Divide the reserved cooked salmon between two airtight containers. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
