Drescription
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.
Ingredients
- 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)
Directions
- 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.
