Ingredients
- 2 salmon steaks
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 cups grape tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped basil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons capers
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
-
For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a medium bowl, combine the grape tomatoes, whole garlic cloves and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
-
Spread the tomatoes and garlic in a single layer in a baking dish. Roast for about 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven, stir in the chopped basil and capers, then set aside.
-
To cook the salmon: Lightly brush each salmon steak with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Grill the salmon over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. The exterior should be nicely seared while the center remains just slightly translucent. Serve topped with the roasted grape tomatoes and any pan juices.

This salmon recipe is simple, versatile and full of bright flavor. Roasted grape tomatoes develop sweetness and depth in the oven, while garlic, basil and capers add savory and herbaceous notes that complement the rich salmon. You can grill the steaks outdoors, use an indoor grill, or bake them—each method yields a delicious result.
Tips: Make sure the tomatoes are in a single layer when roasting so they blister evenly. For perfectly cooked salmon, aim for a good sear and remove from the heat when the center is still slightly translucent; the fish will continue to cook as it rests.
Buen provecho!
