How to Make Baked Salmon With Black Olive Salsa

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Prepare the Black Olive Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives, 1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Place salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spoon the black olive salsa generously over the salmon fillets.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
