Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them.
- Clean the leek thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice it into thin rounds.
- Drizzle olive oil evenly over a large baking dish.
- Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced leeks across the bottom of the dish.
- Place the salmon fillet on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest over the salmon.
- Pour the white wine around the salmon, making sure it’s distributed evenly.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the capers and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the capers are slightly crispy and the butter is infused with their flavor.
- Remove from heat.
- Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven.
- Drizzle the caper butter sauce over the salmon.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of freshness.
- Serve the baked tomato and leek salmon with your favorite sides and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this delicious dish!
Tips:
- Ensure that the salmon is fresh and of good quality for the best taste and texture.
- Slice the leeks thinly and rinse them thoroughly to remove any soil trapped between the layers.
- Opt for a dry white wine to enhance the flavors of the sauce without overshadowing the taste of the salmon.
- Don't skip the lemon zest; it adds a refreshing citrus note that balances the richness of the salmon and butter.
- Keep an eye on the salmon while it bakes to avoid overcooking. The fish should be just opaque and flaky.
- Garnish with fresh parsley right before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
This Baked Tomato and Leek Salmon with Caper Sauce is a surefire way to impress your family or guests with minimal effort.
