Although you can use any firm-fleshed fish, such as halibut or cod, salmon is especially delicious with the roasted tomatoes and black olives. Serve with steamed green beans or broccoli florets and boiled new potatoes. Ingredients:
2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, stem ends trimmed, cut into thin wedges |
1/2 medium onion, peeled and cut into thin wedges |
2 tsp orange zest, (2 strips) cut into thin slivers |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 freshly ground pepper to taste |
1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet (about 1 1/2 inches thick), skin removed, cut into 4 portions |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine tomatoes, onion, orange zest and garlic in a large roasting pan or on a large baking sheet with sides. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat.
2. Roast, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes and onion are tender and beginning to brown on the edges, about 45 minutes. Remove pan from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 450° F.
3. Add olives and rosemary to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Clear four spaces in the pan and place a salmon piece in each. Spoon some of the tomato mixture on top.
4. Roast until the salmon is opaque in the center, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.
