Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Good olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 cups (1 pint) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved through the stem
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons good balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
1 (2-pound) salmon fillet, cut crosswise into 4 pieces

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.

Pan-Roasted Salmon with Cherry Tomatoes image

It sounds basic, but the tomato sauce is so awesome. If you have it, use white wine instead of chicken broth. I like to serve my salmon with asparagus-roast it alongside the fish. -Swati Sharan, Horseheads, New York

SALMON AND TOMATOES IN FOIL



Salmon and Tomatoes in Foil image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds salmon fillet, cut crosswise (4 pieces)
12 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Salt and pepper
16 basil leaves

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.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Provided by Lidey Heuck

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 1 large)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
4 (6-ounce) skin-on mild white fish fillets, such as cod or halibut
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest (from about 1/2 lemon)
Chopped fresh basil, for serving
Chopped fresh mint, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Slow-Baked Salmon and Cherry Tomatoes image

Cooking the salmon at a low heat makes for tender meat and a vibrant hue. Set off the fish's decadence with a little basil and a burst of tangy-sweet tomatoes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 clove garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh basil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 skin-on wild-salmon fillets (each 6 ounces and 1 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss together oil, tomatoes, garlic, and 4 basil leaves. Season with salt. Bake until tomatoes are just wilted, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 275 degrees.
  • Season salmon with salt and pepper; place, skin-side down, in dish with tomatoes. Spoon pan juices over fish and bake until just cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 120 degrees, about 15 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with remaining basil leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Look for bright, crisp asparagus, ripe cherry tomatoes, and a fresh salmon fillet.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Roast the asparagus and cherry tomatoes until they are tender: Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Cook them until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite.
  • Make the lemon-butter sauce while the salmon and vegetables are cooking: This sauce is quick and easy to make, and it adds a delicious, rich flavor to the dish.
  • Serve the salmon, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes immediately: This dish is best served hot, so make sure to serve it immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

This baked salmon with asparagus and cherry tomatoes is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. The lemon-butter sauce adds a touch of richness and elegance, and the roasted vegetables are a perfect complement to the salmon. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
