BAKED SALMON WITH ROASTED TOMATOES
Steps:
- Prep salmon and oven: Thaw fish if frozen. Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Prep veggies and roast: In the prepared baking dish combine tomatoes, onions, oregano, oil, garlic, ¼ tsp of the salt, and ¼ tsp of the pepper. Toss to coat the tomatoes. Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- Bake salmon: Place fish, skin side down, on top of the tomatoes. Sprinkle fish with remaining ¼ tsp pepper and ¼ tsp salt. Bake, uncovered, for another 15 to 20 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily. Salmon is done when the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Serve: Transfer the salmon from the baking dish with a spatula and top with roasted tomatoes and onions.

Steps:
- If you're making the potatoes, start by heating the oven to 450 degrees F. If not, skip to step 5.
- Put the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme and 1 teaspoon dry rosemary. Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Toss to make sure the potatoes are well coated.
- Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, on a sheetpan or baking dish. Roast in the heated oven for about 25 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and push the potatoes to one side of your pan to make room for the salmon.
- Turn the oven heat down to 250 degrees F. Wait for the heat to lower to this point.
- Brush the bottom of the sheet pan where you made room for the salmon with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Season the salmon with kosher salt on both sides and put it in the pan next to the potatoes.
- Drizzle about 3 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over the salmon fillet. Spread the remaining fresh garlic on top (I use the back of a spoon to spread the garlic evenly all over the fish fillet). Sprinkle the remaining rosemary and fresh thyme.
- Roast the salmon in the 250 degree F heated oven for 15-18 minutes for medium rare, or up to 25 minutes for medium, depending on thickness of fish (insert a fork in the thickest part of the salmon, it should meet no resistance and should flake easily). To be sure, insert an instant read thermometer in the thickest part of the fish, it is ready when the internal temperature registers 125 degrees F for a medium-cooked salmon.
- Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top of the salmon. Serve immediately.

SALMON & MELTING CHERRY TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Stir in the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the tomato sauce thickens slightly. Off the heat, stir in the vinegar and basil.
- Meanwhile, place a large (12-inch) cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Brush the salmon all over with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and place it skin side up in the pan. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them, until browned. Turn the salmon skin side down with a small metal spatula and transfer the pan to the oven for 8 minutes. (The salmon will not be completely cooked through.) Remove the fish to a serving platter, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Reheat the tomatoes, season to taste, and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature along with the salmon.
SALMON AND TOMATOES IN FOIL
Here is a simple recipe for salmon prepared en papillote (a fancy name for "in paper," though like most everyone else these days, you will use aluminum foil). Layer salmon, tomato and basil on lightly oiled foil and wrap it all up - you can even do it a night before cooking. When the time for dinner comes, you can steam, grill, roast or pan-grill the packages - though our testing shows roasting is easiest. You can substitute almost anything comparable for each of the ingredients: salmon can be replaced by any fish steak or fillet, or by boneless, skinless chicken breast. The herb and vegetable can also be varied at will, as long as the vegetable will finish cooking at the same time as the protein: if you were cooking broccoli, for example, you would have to cut it into small pieces; if carrots, you'd have to parboil them.

Steps:
- For each of 4 packages, place one 12-inch-long sheet of aluminum foil on top of another. Smear top sheet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and layer a fillet of salmon, 6 tomato halves, salt and pepper, 4 basil leaves and another half tablespoon oil. Seal package by folding foil onto itself and crimping edges tightly. Repeat to make other packages, and refrigerate until ready to cook, no more than 24 hours later.
- When you are ready to cook, heat oven to 500 degrees. Place packages in a roasting pan. (Or they can be cooked on top of the stove in 2 skillets over medium-high heat.) Cook 5 minutes (for medium-rare) to 8 minutes from the time the mixture starts to sizzle, or roughly 10 to 12 minutes total.
- Let packages rest a minute, and cut a slit along the top with a knife. Use a knife and fork to open the package. Spoon the salmon, garnish and juices onto a plate, and serve.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND THYME
Baking salmon in a low-temperature oven slowly melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. Lemon and thyme, a classic Mediterranean combination, add another layer of flavor without sacrificing this dish's elegant simplicity.

ROASTED SALMON SERVED WITH ROASTED PLUM TOMATOES AND CARAMELIZED LEMON SLICES
Salmon is definitely one of the sexiest foods out there. When cooked right, its pink, tender flesh is rich and succulent. This method of roasting salmon is wonderful because it's light and elegant - the perfect date food. All the great colors also make for a killer presentation. To make it easiest on yourself, make the tomatoes well in advance so that you only have to worry about cooking up the salmon fresh. I serve the chopped tomatoes at room temperature because I love the contrast you get with the hot fish. You can also make the lemon slices ahead of time, if you're worried about doing too many things at once. The lemon slices make the presentation but a little bit of their juice squeezed over the fish finishes it perfectly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place plum tomatoes in a shallow baking dish, drizzle with olive oil and scatter thyme sprigs over all. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until tomatoes are softened but still have their shape, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and set aside.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Lay the salmon fillets skin side down with some space between them on a baking sheet or baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and cover with dill. Squeeze 1/2 of the lemon over all. Bake until firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the remaining lemon half into 1/4-inch slices. Heat a skillet over high heat. Film the bottom of the pan with olive oil and add lemon slices. Saute until brown on both sides, about 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove the aluminum foil from the tomatoes and discard the herb sprigs. Place the tomatoes on a cutting board and roughly chop.
- Spoon chopped tomatoes into the center of each plate. Lay a piece of salmon over the tomatoes and lay the lemon halves to the side of the salmon. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon fillet you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have any brown spots.
- Roast the tomatoes before using them. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Use fresh thyme if you can find it. Fresh thyme has a more intense flavor than dried thyme. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme instead.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to not overcook it. The best way to check if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is cooked. If the fork comes out with pink or red juices, the salmon needs to be cooked for a few more minutes.
Conclusion:
This salmon fillet with thyme and roasted tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted tomatoes add a sweet and tangy flavor to the salmon, and the thyme adds a subtle herbal flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
