Mediterranean Salmon
Who wouldn’t love a recipe with vibes of coastal living and sun-drenched tables? After traveling throughout the Mediterranean region the past few years, I am a bit of a super fan of this lifestyle. With this recipe, I wanted to create an easy healthy salmon dinner with vibes of that region, and I think I nailed it (I hope you’ll agree!).
Tomatoes, olives, red onion, and lemon slices roast under the fish and collapse into a sort of sauce after baking. The salmon is rubbed with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin, which make the savory notes pop.
