UPLOADED/REDIRECTED: Keep It Simple: Salmon and Tomatoes
Inspired by author and chef Melissa Clark’s wonderful book, Dinner: Changing the Game: A Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, 2017), and maybe by a tiny bit of overexposure to our kitchen these last few months, we decided to chart a simple course for everyday meals this summer. Four sheet pan dinners to get us through the weekdays. Fresh ingredients. Loads of flavor. One pan. From oven to plate…simply delicious!
Cook up this salmon and tomato recipe for a delicious, no-fuss seafood dinner. Just season, roast, and enjoy!
