Instructions
Creating Mediterranean-Style Salmon is effortless if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure even cooking for the salmon.
2. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Prepare Vegetables: On a large baking sheet, arrange the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onion. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
5. Arrange Salmon: Once marinated, place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetable mixture. Lay lemon slices over each fillet for added flavor.
6. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
7. Garnish: After removing from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and freshness.
8. Serve: Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side for drizzling. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
By following these steps, you’ll create a Mediterranean-Style Salmon dish that captures the vibrant flavors of this wonderful cuisine.
