My family had dinner at our favorite local Greek restaurant last Friday. We usually order souvlakis but that day, we decided to try different dishes in the menu. My oldest son and I ordered the ribs, my husband had the roast lamb, my son’s girlfriend had the lamb chop and my youngest son had the salmon. I was able to taste the salmon and I was impressed at how tasty and delicious it was. I usually cook salmon once a week for my family and so for this week, I decided to make this Greek-style baked salmon. I found a recipe and after minimally adapting it based on what I have in my pantry, I was able to make this baked salmon. The salmon turned out smelling so good and very flavorful. It goes well with rice or salad and with tzatsiki sauce. Enjoy!
- 2 lbs salmon fillet
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp fresh dill
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp paprika
- In a shallow casserole dish, whisk together the oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, dill, oregano and paprika. Add the salmon and coat with the marinade; cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for half an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 °F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Transfer salmon plus marinade on the prepared sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with tzatsiki and salad.
