Ingredients
Scale
Baked Salmon
- 2 x 4-5 oz salmon filets
- Freshly-cracked pepper
- Coarse salt
Sundried Tomato Aioli
- 3 sundried tomato halves, chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp parsley or basil, finely chopped
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- Coarse salt
- Freshly-cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Soak sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water for 10-15 mins. (Alternatively, you can use the pre-chopped ones that come in oil, then leave out the step where we add olive oil.)
- Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and place them in a small bowl.
- Add minced garlic, chopped parsley/basil, dijon mustard, and olive oil to the same bowl.
- Mix ingredients well (or pulse in a food processor for a smoother texture). Add quartered cherry tomatoes and stir until combined. Place mixture to the side.
- Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper and place on a foil-lined baking pan or cast iron pan.
- Bake for 6 mins. Remove from the oven and flip over.
- Add half the aioli on top and bake for an additional 6 minutes—or until easily flaked with a fork. Thicker pieces of salmon may require additional baking time.
Notes
This dish is delicious with roasted potatoes and vegetables (like baked zucchini!) or a fresh salad.
