Nutritional values

Salmon and olives contain unsaturated fatty acids that help regulate blood fat and lower blood pressure. Iodine from the fish supports the thyroid gland, while the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E contained in this healthful dish are good for the eyes and bones.

If you want more fiber in this dish, just add brown rice, a whole wheat baguette, or a green salad.

Love this recipe! I've never made salmon like this before, but it was fun to try something new.

You can just omit the pepper if you don't like the taste of it.
 
Can I use something else to subsitute pepper?
 
I never tried cherry tomatoes with salmon, so this will be great for my tastebuds to try something new and different!
