Equipment

  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 sheet tray

Ingredients

  • 2-3 salmon filets about 1-1.5 lbs
  • 2 cups baby potatoes cut in half
  • 6 stalks of asaragus chopped
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • juice of a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup feta cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then make the marinade by whisking together 2 tablespoon of the olive oil, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, mint, and oregano.
  • Lay the salmon filets out on a sheet pan and pour the marinade over them all evenly.
  • Arrange the sliced potatoes, chopped asparagus, and tomatoes around the salmon filets.
  • Drizzle the veggies with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Bake the salmon and vegetables for 17 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle over the feta cheese while it is still warm.

Notes

  • Use wild salmon for the best flavor and nutrition. Sockeye, coho, or king salmon are all great choices.
  • Don’t overbake! Salmon should be moist and flaky—check it at the 17-minute mark and adjust as needed.
  • Make it a meal – Serve with a big Fattoush salad or over a bed of fluffy quinoa or white rice.
  • Marinate ahead – If you have time, let the salmon sit in the marinade for 15-30 minutes for even more flavor.
  • Crispy edges? Broil for 2 extra minutes at the end for a little caramelization.
  • Cook the salmon skin side down.
