  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

½ cup mixed olives, sliced

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, feta, parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.

Serve salmon hot, topped generously with the Mediterranean salad mixture.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for the crispiest sear. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Store topping separately from salmon.
