Seafood is something that we’re always trying to enjoy more in our diet and we all especially love salmon.

We’ve got quite a few salmon recipes here, including these keto salmon patties (served with our favorite tartar sauce recipe!) and Tuscan salmon.

This time around, we took our favorite Bruschetta Chicken and turned it into a seafood dish that my family will not stop asking for! You may never see another salmon recipe from me, because every time I buy it they ask for this one! 😉

You’ll love how fresh and flavorful this is, all while being really easy and quick to whip up. I love dinners like this, because they make me feel like a star!

Ingredients:

Salmon Filets – We always recommend wild salmon, if you can find it.

Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar – Be careful when buying balsamic and make sure you read your labels. Some balsamic vinegar is absolutely loaded with sugar. Our nutrition information is based on a balsamic vinegar with just 2 grams carbs per tablespoon. If you use a vinegar with more carbs, your nutrition information will change from what we’ve provided in the recipe card below.

Garlic

Italian Seasoning – This is just a blend of basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.

Cherry Tomatoes – We love cherry tomatoes in this recipe, because they’re nice and juicy. Grape tomatoes will work in a pinch but cherry are our favorite.

Red Onion

Basil – You’ll want fresh basil in this one. Roll up the leaves together and then slice. You’ll have perfect little strips of basil.

How to:

Season the Salmon – We’re doing a quick 10 minute marinade for the salmon. You’ll just whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. We like to mix this right in our baking dish and then add in the salmon and let it set while the oven preheats. Simple, quick, and minimal clean up. 😉

This is a really flavorful mix of ingredients. Use this to marinade salmon, chicken, pork chops, or even steak, if you like!

Bake the Salmon – Once your oven hits 425 degrees, pop your salmon in the oven and let it bake for about 15-20 minutes. We want the salmon to be just about cooked through – but not quite. We’re adding the bruschetta mixture to the dish and baking for 5 more minutes, so don’t fully cook the salmon yet or it may dry out just a bit.

Make the Bruschetta – Add the tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil, balsamic vinegar, oil, and salt to a bowl and toss to combine. This mixture adds freshness and flavor to the salmon.

Top & Bake – Pour the tomato mixture over the salmon and finish baking for 3-5 minutes. We just want to lightly heat the tomato mixture so that the whole dish is hot. It won’t take long at all.

How to tell when salmon is done:

Use a fork to gently press down on the top of the salmon. It should easily flake apart, the pink parts separating from the white.

Leftovers:

We personally like this one served fresh from the oven.

You definitely can save the leftovers, tightly covered in the fridge, but they won’t be as tasty reheated. The fresh veggies aren’t nearly as tasty after being reheated.
