Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt on a sheet pan.

  3. Step 3

    Nestle salmon skin-side up on the pan with tomatoes. Drizzle with remaining oil.

  4. Step 4

    Roast at 400°F for 12–14 minutes until salmon flakes easily and tomatoes blister.

  5. Step 5

    While the pan roasts, warm the cooked quinoa in a small bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until fragrant, ~3 minutes.

    Divide quinoa between bowls. Top with salmon, roasted tomatoes, pesto, and pine nuts.
