Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 6 oz fillets Salmon skin-on or skinless
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Dill chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the top and sides of each salmon fillet.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  4. While the salmon is baking, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta, chopped red onion, fresh parsley, dill, and lemon juice. Gently toss.
  5. Remove the salmon from the oven and top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the Mediterranean topping. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon. A center-cut fillet will cook more evenly.
Tip 2: Don't overmix the topping, or the feta cheese will become mushy.
Tip 3: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The topping is best stored separately.
