Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1 cup cooked fresh corn or drained canned corn, chilled
  • 2 TBS fresh basil chopped
  • ¼ cup feta cheese optional- can be omitted
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425*. Combine the cherry tomatoes, corn, basil, and feta cheese (optional) into a medium sized mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil (about ¼ cup) and stir to combine.
  2. Place the seasoned salmon fillets, skin side down, onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil to keep them moist while they roast.
  3. Depending on the size and thickness of your salmon fillet, they should bake anywhere from 10-15 minutes (generally about 5-6 minutes per ½” of thickness). You will know that they are done when they are light and flaky (you can use a fork to test).
  4. To serve, spoon the corn and tomato mixture onto the roasted salmon fillet. This dish is tasty when served over rice, couscous, or a bed of fresh arugula. Enjoy!
