Equipment

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) fillets of salmon 1 pound total
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried dill
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Topping:

½ cup halved grape tomatoes
½ cup sliced mini cucumbers
3 tablespoons sliced black or kalamata olives
2 tablespoons feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
½ tablespoon chopped fresh dill
½ tablespoon chopped fresh mint
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Pat fillets of salmon dry with a paper towel. Add to a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion powder, dried oregano, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the fillets. Let fillets sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to soak in the flavor.
While the salmon marinates, prepare the topping. Mix all topping ingredients together in a bowl.
When the 30 minutes are up, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, cook fish, skin side down, for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip, then cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through to 145 degrees F in the middle.
Serve salmon on rice or lettuce with a spoonful of the topping over top. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavor.

Notes

If you prefer to bake the salmon fillets, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place fillets on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the middle of the fillet reads 145 degrees F.
