Roasted Salmon with Blistered Tomatoes
Easy weeknight salmon to meal prep or serve for guests!
Ingredients
- 3 salmon fillets about 5 oz. each
- 6 oz. cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds I got mine from Trader Joe's
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon sliced into thin circles width wise
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- On a clean, dry baking sheet, spread out 1/4 cup slivered almonds on sheet.
- Put into oven for about 3-5 minutes, checking for golden browning. Be careful not to over toast!
- Once toasted, remove from oven to let cool. They will continue toasting on sheet after you remove from the oven.
- While the almonds are cooling, line a baking sheet or baking dish with foil.
- In a small bowl, mix paprika, salt, garlic, and pepper for seasoning blend.
- Rub olive oil over salmon on both sides (or spray with cooking spray) and season with seasoning blend.
- Place salmon fillets on baking sheet. Lay lemon slices on top of salmon.
- Sprinkle cherry tomatoes around salmon fillets.
- Bake for about 15-18 minutes and then remove from oven.
- Sprinkle toasted almonds on top to finish and serve.
Notes
The thicker the piece of salmon, the longer the cooking time. If it is a very thick piece, I would reduce cooking temperature to 375 F and increase cooking time in 5 minute increments.
