Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the upper third. Pat 12 ounces coho salmon fillet dry and cut it into 2 portions. Season all over with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, then refrigerate while you prepare and begin roasting the vegetables, about 15 minutes.
-
In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, combine:
- 10 ounces Organic Sungold cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Organic red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 medium Organic red onion, cut into thin wedges
- 2 Organic garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Toss well, spread evenly, and roast for 18 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to burst and the pepper softens.
-
Remove the dish from the oven. Gently crush about half of the tomatoes with a spoon, then stir in 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar. Nestle the presalted salmon into the vegetables and roast for 8 to 11 minutes, pulling it when the thickest part reaches 125°F. Rest for 3 minutes.
-
While the salmon roasts, brush 4 slices crusty bread with 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Place them directly on an open oven-rack area or on a small baking sheet and toast for 5 to 7 minutes, until crisp at the edges.
-
Divide the smoky tomato-pepper mixture between two shallow bowls and place a salmon portion on each. Spoon the pan juices over the fish, scatter with 2 tablespoons chopped Organic Italian parsley, and serve with the toasted bread.
