Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. salmon fillets (de-boned)
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 large garlic cloves (pressed or minced)
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 medium lemon (cut into wedges for serving)
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbles
  • fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking, and place your salmon fillets on it.

  • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature needs to be at least 145℉ for food safety. Note that cooking time may vary a bit depending on the thickness of your fillets. So rely on a thermometer to cook this properly.
