Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) skin-side down on the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with half of the herb oil mixture.
Step 4: Scatter 2 cups cherry tomatoes around the salmon and drizzle remaining herb oil over them.
Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and tomatoes are softened and blistered.
Step 6: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the salmon and tomatoes.
Step 7: Serve immediately with 4 lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
