Baked salmon with fennel & tomatoes
Baked salmon with fennel and tomatoes is a dish that balances bright, herbal notes with rich, buttery fish and tender vegetables. The salmon stays moist and flaky, while the fennel softens into a delicate sweetness and the tomatoes burst with juicy acidity—all tied together by a bright citrus finish. A drizzle of balsamic glaze before baking adds a deep, caramelized sweetness that elevates every bite. Simple to prepare yet elegant enough for a dinner party, this recipe delivers layered flavors without demanding much effort.
