Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lemon (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons shawarma spice blend
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 large shallot (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
- Arrange the thinly sliced lemon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the tomato paste, minced garlic, half of the sliced shallot, and half of the chopped parsley. Cook gently for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the juice of 1 whole lemon. Allow to cool slightly.
- Place the salmon fillet skin-side down over the lemon slices. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with shawarma spice blend, salt, and pepper.
- Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and remaining shallot slices over the salmon. Spoon the cooled tomato-garlic mixture evenly across the top.
- Loosely cover the salmon with a sheet of damp parchment paper. Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley. Finish with flakey sea salt. Serve warm.
Notes
- Serve with turmeric rice, Greek salad, hummus, matbucha, or pita.
