The rich taste of the salmon pairs beautifully with the tangy, savory cherry vinaigrette, creating a meal that's both satisfying and nutritious.

Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until the shallots are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the vinegar, lime juice, and fish sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Add the brown sugar, stirring until it dissolves.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lime zest and chopped coriander leaves.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Spoon the cherry vinaigrette over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Garnish with additional coriander leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is at room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh lime juice and zest for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter vinaigrette, add a little more brown sugar to taste.
- For a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.
- To avoid overcooking, keep a close eye on the salmon as it roasts and check for doneness with a fork; it should flake easily.
With just a few simple steps and fresh ingredients, you can create a delicious roasted salmon with cherry vinaigrette that will impress your family and guests. The combination of flavors from the cherry vinaigrette and the perfectly roasted salmon make this dish a standout. Enjoy your meal!
