Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the fresh salmon steak in a bowl, squeeze the lemon into it, sprinkle with spices, add salt, and pour in the olive oil.
Step 2
Cut the squeezed lemon into small pieces, lightly crush a couple of peeled garlic cloves with a knife, add the lemon and garlic to the steak, and coat the salmon in the mixture to ensure it is well and evenly marinated. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
Step 3
While the steak is marinating in the olive-lemon marinade, preheat the oven to 390°F (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Step 4
If the cherry tomatoes are large, it’s better to cut them into quarters; if they are small, don’t touch them, but you can lightly score the skin. During baking, the tomatoes will burst anyway, so let them burst beautifully!
Step 5
Place the salmon on the foil, lift the edges, pour in the lemon-olive mixture, top with pieces of lemon and garlic, and then add the tomatoes. Close everything tightly, possibly with a double layer of foil to prevent leaking.
Step 6
Send it to the oven for 20–30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the piece.
