Description
This Mediterranean Salmon Bake is a healthy, one-pan dinner that brings together flaky salmon fillets with vibrant cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onions—seasoned with garlic, lemon, and oregano. It’s flavorful, easy to make, and perfect for weeknight meals or meal prep.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
0.5 cup pitted Kalamata olives
0.5 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon dried oregano
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Spread the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onion slices evenly across the baking sheet. Sprinkle the minced garlic on top.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
4. Nestle the salmon fillets among the vegetables. Optionally brush with more olive oil and season lightly.
5. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the tomatoes are blistered.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use skinless salmon for best texture and presentation.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; use two pans if needed.
This dish is great cold in salads or wraps the next day.
