Ingredients

  1. 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 cucumber, sliced
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
    1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
    2 cups mixed greens (like spinach or arugula)
    1 tablespoon olive oil (for dressing)
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (or heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat).

  1. Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
  2. If baking, place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, cook the salmon fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish is cooked to your liking.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and mixed greens.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), lemon juice, and dried oregano to make the dressing.
  5. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven or grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, break it into large pieces.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top the salad with the cooked salmon.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional feta or olives if desired.

Notes

  • Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or avocado for more texture and flavor.
  • For a smokier flavor, try grilling or pan-searing the salmon instead of baking.
  • For a low-carb option, skip the honey and use more lemon for a refreshing tang.
  • If you don’t like salmon, substitute with grilled or baked chicken breast.
