Step-by-Step Instructions for Herb Crusted Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking pan with foil or parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and olive oil, stirring until well blended.
  3. On one side of the prepared baking pan, scatter whole cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on the opposite side of the baking pan. Season with salt and pepper and spoon the herb mixture over each fillet.
