TOMATO BASIL SALMON

This salmon has SO much flavor and blends so well with the fish. The roasted tomatoes are my favorite! Cause anything that is roasted is better, right!?

From prep to finish, this main course only took me about 15 minutes which makes it the perfect weeknight meal! Seriously, the goal by 6 o’clock is to get the kids fed, washed and in bed as fast as possible because this mama is DONE.

HOW TO COOK THIS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Pat salmon filets dry with a paper towel. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top of fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, then with basil.
3. Top each filet with about 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese and add about 2 sliced tomatoes on top. Drizzle olive oil on top of tomatoes and cheese. Season tomatoes with a dash of salt, then add about 2 more tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top of tomatoes.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes on the middle rack until the salmon flakes with a fork depending on the thickness of the fish. Move to top rack and broil for approximately 1-2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and tomatoes have golden edges. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately.
