Our Easy One Pan Salmon and Tomatoes is inspired by author and chef Melissa Clark’s wonderful book, Dinner: Changing the Game: A Cookbook, and maybe by a tiny bit of overexposure to our kitchen these last few months. From her ideas, we decided to chart a simple course for everyday meals this summer. Sheet pan dinners are a great way to help you get through the weekdays. Each pan carries plenty of fresh ingredients ingredients and loads of flavor. Plus, one pan cooking makes a no-mess, easy dinner option. The quick succession from oven to plate is simply delicious!
Cook up this one pan salmon and tomato recipe for a delicious, no-fuss seafood dinner. Just season, roast, and enjoy!
