This oven-ready recipe is snap to prep. Salmon fillets and cherry tomatoes roast side by side on one pan, then are drizzled with balsamic glaze to pull it all together.

Step 2
Stir oil, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Add tomatoes and toss to coat.
Step 3
Arrange salmon on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover the tops of the fillets with mozzarella pieces. Fill the other side of the pan with the tomato mixture. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through and the tomatoes have broken down, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir basil into the tomato sauce and serve over the salmon. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Tips

Tip: Balsamic glaze is balsamic vinegar that's cooked until it's very thick. Look for it with other vinegars in well-stocked supermarkets.

A good and easy recipe. It would work just as well without the mozzarella if one is wanting to cut the calories.

This is a winner! I told my son I was headed to the market to buy some fish for dinner and a grunt and groan ensued , he said "don't buy that white fish, get some salmon and make that dish with the mozzarella and glaze, that's my favorite". This is so easy and quick to prepare and a one pot dish, but I am going to have an ear on corn on the side. This is a keeper!

This recipe is easy and incredibly full of flavor! It takes only 15 minutes and I even cook it in my convection toaster oven. My kids and family enjoyed it. If you are on WW its only 1 point on Blue!!! Incredible! It is definitely in the rotation!
