Ingredients

Salmon and Seasoning

  • 1 pound salmon fillets
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 teaspoons Greek seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, microplaned or grated
  • 2 large lemons (zest and juice from one lemon, sliced rounds from the other)

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 1 medium yellow squash, sliced in half lengthwise and cut into thin half moons
  • 1 12-oz jar quartered marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 4 ounces block feta cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), setting the stage for perfectly baked salmon and vegetables.
  2. Season Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a plate and generously sprinkle sea salt over them to enhance their natural flavor.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together avocado oil, lemon zest and juice from one lemon, Greek seasoning, and grated garlic. Smear a spoonful of this vibrant sauce over each salmon fillet and set the remaining sauce aside.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a large, rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick spray for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  5. Prepare Vegetables and Feta: Add the thinly sliced yellow squash, drained artichoke hearts, and cubed feta cheese to the baking pan. Pour the reserved sauce over these vegetables and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  6. Arrange Salmon: Create spaces in the pan and place the salmon fillets into these spaces, pouring any leftover sauce over them to infuse flavor.
  7. Add Lemon Slices: Slice the remaining lemon into rounds and place one slice on each salmon fillet for added freshness and aroma.
  8. Bake: Bake everything in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. The salmon should turn lighter pink and flake easily with a fork.
  9. Broil Vegetables: Remove the salmon from the pan and cover it to keep warm. Turn the oven broiler on and return the vegetables to the oven to toast for about 5 minutes, enhancing their texture and flavor.
  10. Serve: Serve the salmon fillets alongside the toasted vegetables for a delicious, balanced meal.

Notes

  • Watch the salmon closely as it bakes to avoid overcooking; salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use fresh lemon slices for garnish to add a bright citrus aroma and flavor.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute the yellow squash with zucchini or other summer squash varieties.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, ensure the Greek seasoning does not contain any gluten additives.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
