Brush salmon with an olive oil-honey-vinegar mixture and broil to create a crispy crust. Combine two Mediterranean favorites — tomatoes and olives — for a simple, filling side.

Salmon With Warm-Tomato Olive Salad

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets (about 1 1/4 inches thick)
  • 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pitted kalamata olives
  • 2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup sliced celery (inner stalks with leaves)
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint

 

Preparation

Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil and lightly brush with olive oil. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon vinegar, the honey, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Put the salmon, skin-side down, on the prepared pan and brush the tops and sides with the honey glaze. Broil until golden brown and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt, then mash into a paste with the flat side of a large knife. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar, the olives and garlic paste in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the tomatoes, celery and mint. Season with salt and toss to combine. Serve with the salmon.
