·       2 shallots, chopped

·       4 cloves of garlic, minced (optional)

·       4 tbsp of olive oil

·       2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)

·       3/4 tsp dried oregano

·       3/4 tsp dried thyme

·       6 fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

·       3/4 tsp black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1.    Preheat the oven to 400F.

2.    In a medium bowl, whisk together tomatoes, oil, shallots, and garlic.

3.    Add lemon juice and herbs, salt and pepper.

4.    Place salmon fillets (skin side down) into glass 9×13 inch casserole dish and cover with tomato mixture.

5.    Bake for 25 minutes.
