Baked Salmon With Greek Salsa

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 Pound salmon filets, skinless or skin-on, about 1-inch thick
1½ Tablespoons olive oil
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon black pepper

For the Greek Salsa:

½ Cup grape tomatoes sliced
½ Cup English cucumber, diced
1 Teaspoon dried dill
¼ Cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1 red onion,n small, peeled and diced
⅓ Cup feta cheese crumbled
4 Wedges of lemon for serving
1 Tablespoon parsley, fresh chopped, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

Pat dry the salmon with paper towels and place skin side down on the sheet pan.

Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the salmon and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.

Bake the salmon, uncovered, until it’s opaque and cooked through and its internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes.

Combine tomatoes, cucumbers, dill, olives, red onion, and feta cheese in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together.

Serve salmon on a large plate or platter topped with Greek salsa, lemon wedges, and fresh parsley.

Notes:

Skin-on salmon trick: If you use skin-on salmon, always cook it skin side down to prevent it from sticking to the sheet pan.

Best results for frozen salmon: Increase the cooking time if using frozen fish. Start with 20 minutes. Always use an instant-read thermometer to ensure proper cooking to 145°F.

Batch cooking: You could make a large batch of cooked salmon on Sunday and eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner. It could be served with Greek salsa or flaked salmon and used for tacos, salads, and more.
