Bruschetta Balsamic Salmon.

This bruschetta salmon is an easy and versatile weeknight meal. Seared salmon drizzled with syrupy balsamic glaze and topped with diced tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil tastes like summer. Serve with your favorite side dish for a simple dinner!

Nothing screams summer is coming like a bright bruschetta topping!

This salmon is seasoned and seared, then drizzled with balsamic glaze and topped with all the garlic, tomatoes and basil you could wish for.

Tastes like sunshine is on the way. 

It’s also fresh. Flavorful. Light and really satisfying at the same time! 

Could I BE any more excited about a dinner that comes together in 20 minutes? I really can’t. Especially when it “seems” fancy and feels elevated in your own kitchen. Sometimes I forget that meals like that exist. Ones that feel special and make the meal memorable, but end up taking mere minutes to prepare! 

I must start keeping a running list on my phone of those easy ones. 

Here’s the thing: I could eat a version of seared salmon every single day. I love it.

The way it is so buttery and melts in your mouth? Perfection. I prefer searing it over roasting any day of the week because the outside crust is fantastic.

I also love the glaze that forms in the pan. 

One of the reasons I make a dish like this so often is because it takes no time at all. Minimal effort too! As long as you don’t mind chopping tomatoes and mincing some garlic.

I don’t – and I find it almost mindful and therapeutic. Plus, the fragrant basil and garlic makes me so happy. It’s nostalgic and summer foods are the best. 

P.S. the bread. The bread! 

This most amazing cheesy garlic bread on the side… It’s fantastic. I don’t mean to gatekeep it but it definitely deserves its own recipe spot. I will tell you about it later this week or next! 

This salmon can be served with any grain, rice or pasta. You could make my bruschetta pasta salad too – just knock out all the chopping of the tomatoes and garlic in one night! You can also serve it alongside some grilled vegetables or my baked cheesy rice. 

Or roasted asparagus with lemon! The crisp, springy spears are only made better served with it.  (more…)
