Ingredients
- For the Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons salt (plus more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (plus more or less to taste)
- ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¾ teaspoon oregano
- ¾ teaspoon thyme
- For the Vegetables:
- 16 ounces cherry tomatoes
- ½ medium red bell pepper
- ½ medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- ½ medium red or yellow onion
- 4 ounces feta crumbles
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ¾ teaspoon rosemary
- For the Salmon:
- 1 pound salmon fillets (skin removed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Lemon slices
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, and thyme. Reserve half of the seasoning mixture for later.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the cherry tomatoes, red and green bell peppers, zucchini, and onion into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped veggies in a baking dish.
- Add Feta and Seasoning: Add the feta crumbles, minced garlic, rosemary, and half of the seasoning mixture to the veggies. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss everything to combine.
- Bake the Veggies: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the veggies begin to soften.
- Prepare the Salmon: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Make small “nests” in the veggie mixture for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets on top of the veggies.
- Season the Salmon: Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture over the salmon fillets. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and top with lemon slices.
- Bake the Salmon: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can top the salmon with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- This dish pairs well with rice, couscous, or quinoa for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a crispier salmon skin, place the salmon skin-side up when baking.
