Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon filet 2-4 filets
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup red onion sliced
- 1 cup kalamata olives pitted
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasonings
- 2 cloves garlic fine chop
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper optional
- 1/4 cup basil fresh chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400*.
- In a large casserole dish add cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, kalamata olives, italian seasonings, and garlic. Drizzle ¼ cup olive oil over the dish and toss all the ingredients together.
- Place the salmon filets skin side down on top of the mixture in the casserole dish. Sprinkle each filet with the red pepper flakes. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper if you like as there is probably enough salt from the feta and kalamata olives that you might not want more salt. Drizzle each filet with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- Bake the dish in 400* oven for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon and your desired doneness of the fish. As a guideline it’s usually about 10 minutes of cook time per 1” thickness of the fish.
- I also like to turn the oven to broil for 1-3 minutes at the end of cooking time to brown the vegetables and give the top of the fish a quick blast of direct heat.
- Remove the casserole dish from the oven and stir the vegetables around the fish to mash and mix them together. Sprinkle the fresh chopped basil over the entire dish. Serve a piece of salmon with the mashed vegetables over the salmon and enjoy.
Notes
The nutrition calculations are tough on this dish because the size of the fish will vary. The salmon filets in the picture were quite large at about 8oz each. You may serve 3-4 people this dish depending on how much fish each person has for their meal.
