Roasted Fennel and Red Onion Salmon

Love this recipe from Real Simple.  All the prep can be done while the oven is preheating.  So easy and yummy!

Ingredients

• 2 small fennel bulbs, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
• 6 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 6-ounce salmon fillets, skinned
• 1 lemon, halved
• about 3 cups cooked rice (optional)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. In a roasting pan, toss the fennel, onion, garlic, tomatoes, thyme, ½ teaspoon of the salt, ¼ teaspoon of the pepper, and the oil. Roast for 20 minutes.
2. Move the vegetables to the sides of the pan; place the salmon in the center. Squeeze the lemon halves over the salmon. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
3. Return the salmon to oven and roast until it is the same color throughout and flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with the rice, if desired.
