Salmon, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes are a delicious and healthy combination that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. This versatile trio can be cooked in a variety of ways, but one of the simplest and most flavorful methods is to roast them together in the oven. The salmon will cook through and become flaky and moist, while the asparagus and cherry tomatoes will caramelize and burst with flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables. It can also be garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.

SALMON & MELTING CHERRY TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Stir in the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the tomato sauce thickens slightly. Off the heat, stir in the vinegar and basil.
- Meanwhile, place a large (12-inch) cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Brush the salmon all over with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and place it skin side up in the pan. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them, until browned. Turn the salmon skin side down with a small metal spatula and transfer the pan to the oven for 8 minutes. (The salmon will not be completely cooked through.) Remove the fish to a serving platter, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Reheat the tomatoes, season to taste, and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature along with the salmon.

This is an easy recipe I saw demonstrated at Central Market in Austin. I tried it at home and it is very easy, quick and delicious. I like serving this with white rice cooked in chicken broth.

PAN-ROASTED SALMON WITH CHERRY TOMATOES
It sounds basic, but the tomato sauce is so awesome. If you have it, use white wine instead of chicken broth. I like to serve my salmon with asparagus-roast it alongside the fish. -Swati Sharan, Horseheads, New York

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose the freshest ingredients possible: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.

- Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Serve the salmon with a simple sauce: A lemon-butter sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try other sauces, such as a pesto sauce or a white wine sauce.
Conclusion:
This salmon with asparagus and cherry tomatoes recipe is a healthy and delicious meal that's perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection, and the vegetables are roasted to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. The lemon-butter sauce adds a touch of richness and acidity that ties the dish together. Whether you're serving this dish for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, it's sure to be a hit.
