Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1 ½ - 2 lb salmon filet pin bones removed, I’m using a 1.5 lb Wild Atlantic Salmon Filet but any large salmon filet will work.
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Bruschetta Mixture
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 small shallot minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ cup basil leaves julienned
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and set the salmon on top of the baking sheet. Look and remove any pin bones from the salmon.
- Rub the fish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place salmon in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Once finished, turn on the broiler to high. Broil the salmon for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove it from the oven and let rest while you make the bruschetta mixture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, minced garlic, shallots, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and basil leaves. Stir to combine.
- Spoon the bruschetta over the top of the salmon and serve immediately.

Notes
- Use tweezers to carefully remove the pin bones from your salmon before cooking.
- Leftover balsamic salmon is great for making tacos, sandwiches and salads.
- Make sure to preheat your oven before baking the salmon.
- Broil your salmon at high heat for 3-5 minutes at the end of cooking in order to get a crispy top layer on it without overcooking it internally.
- For best results serve immediately. The bruschetta doesn’t keep very well when left out of refrigeration or stored in an airtight container overnight.
- Refrigerate any unused portions of the bruschetta mixture as soon as possible.
- What to Serve With Swedish Meatballs will give you many other delicious choices to serve with your salmon.
