Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, then place salmon skin-side up and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Flip the salmon carefully using a spatula, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon cooks, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl to make the salsa.
- Remove salmon from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving topped with the fresh salsa.
