Ingredients
- 21 oz salmon fillets
- olive oil (extra virgin olive oil preferably)
- salt
- 1 Lemon, thinly sliced
- 4 oz cherry tomatoes, sliced in half (or grape tomatoes)
- ½ cup black olives (sliced if large)
- 1½ tablespoons capers
- parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300℉ (or 145-150℃).
- Place salmon fillets in a baking dish and massage with a generous amount of olive oil and salt (about 1 teaspoon). Set aside to give them time to become less cold while you prepare and cut other ingredients.
- Arrange the lemon slices over the fillets, then scatter the tomato halves, olives, and capers over the fish. Sprinkle some chop parsley and drizzle everything lightly with olive oil.
- Cover the baking dish and bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes (more or less depending on how thick your fillets are) until the internal temperature reaches 125℉-130℉ (52-54℃).
- Remove from the oven and serve. You can add a squeeze of lemon if desired.
