This is one of my favorite ways to serve salmon because everything cooks together in one pan. The tomatoes blister and release their juices around the fish, creating a bright, simple sauce with lemon, garlic and herbs.

Roast for 10–12 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until it is just cooked through.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pan and finish with parsley or basil.

Notes
For the juiciest salmon, take it out of the oven as soon as the center is opaque and flakes easily.
