Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets salmon fresh or thawed, skin-on or skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 lemon sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature allows the salmon to cook through while the tomatoes and olives roast perfectly.

Step 2: Season the Salmon

  • Pat your salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they’re well coated for maximum flavor.

Step 3: Arrange the Veggies and Olives

  • In a mixing bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of oregano. Spread them out evenly on the sheet pan, creating a bed for your salmon.

Step 4: Add the Salmon and Lemon

  • Place the seasoned salmon fillets on top of the tomato and olive mix. Then, tuck the lemon slices around the salmon to infuse a bright, citrus aroma as everything bakes.

Step 5: Bake

  • Put the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes are soft and blistered.

Step 6: Sprinkle Feta and Serve

  • Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the salmon and veggies. The residual heat will gently warm the feta. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish.

Equipment

  • Large rimmed sheet pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Sharp Knife
  • Spatula or tongs

Notes

  • Use wild-caught salmon for a richer flavor and better texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
  • Let the salmon rest a few minutes after baking to keep it juicy and tender.
