Tender baked salmon infused with lemon, garlic, and Mediterranean herbs, topped with tomatoes, olives, and feta for a fresh and vibrant meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place salmon fillets in the dish and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
  3. Sprinkle garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper evenly over the salmon.
  4. Scatter cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives over and around the fish.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.
  6. Remove from oven and top with crumbled feta and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest for extra citrus flavor.
  • Grill salmon for 4–5 minutes per side as an alternative method.
  • Omit feta for a dairy-free version.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently at 300°F (150°C) to prevent drying out.
