Roasted Wild Salmon with Cherry Tomatoes & Spinach

Introduction

This roasted wild salmon recipe with cherry tomatoes and spinach is a simple yet elegant dish that combines flavour, nutrition, and convenience. Salmon is well known for being rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health, while cherry tomatoes provide antioxidants and spinach delivers a boost of vitamins and minerals. Whether you’re preparing a weeknight family dinner or hosting friends, this recipe is both wholesome and impressive on the table.

Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

  • 20 whole cherry tomatoes

  • 700g salmon fillet

  • 300g fresh organic spinach

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  2. Add butter to a medium oven-proof sauté pan and heat over medium-high heat.

  3. Rinse salmon, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.

  4. When the butter has melted, place the salmon skin-side up and cook for 2–3 minutes without turning.

  5. Add cherry tomatoes to the pan around the fish and cook for another 2 minutes.

  6. Flip the salmon.

  7. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until done — 2 minutes for medium-rare or 4 minutes for medium-well.

  8. In the final minute, place spinach leaves over the salmon so they wilt gently.

  9. Serve by layering spinach on plates, topping with salmon and roasted tomatoes.

Serving Suggestions

This roasted wild salmon recipe pairs beautifully with quinoa, brown rice, or a side of roasted sweet potatoes. For extra flavour, drizzle with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
