Roasted Salmon with Shallots & Tomatoes

May 6, 2014

Summer means simplicity.  This roasted salmon with shallots and tomatoes practically screams summertime. Flaky roasted fish? Check. Juicy, wrinkly roasted tomatoes? Check. A side of roasted okra? Double check.

Roasted Salmon with Shallots & Tomatoes | This super easy dinner recipe is very healthy, with roasted salmon, shallots, & tomatoes and very little hands-on time.  A healthy meal, how to bake salmon in the oven. Easy salmon recipe for any occasion. #salmon #shallots #easydinner

I wanted to grill the salmon but my grill was malfunctioning, so I went for this instead. And, boy, was that the right choice! The shallots and garlic sink into the flavor of the salmon, and it’s all just so…simple.

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Mince or shave the shallots and garlic, and slice some of the grape tomatoes in half.
