Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 4-6 oz portions skinless and boneless salmon patted dry
- 1 medium zucchini halved lengthwise and cut into ¼-inch slices
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp Greek seasoning
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- ¼ tsp salt optional (see notes)
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese I use light
To Serve
- tzatziki
- 2 cups cooked rice I like to cook this in broth for extra flavor
Instructions
- Position oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 425 F. If you haven't already, cook your rice according to package directions but swap water for broth.
- Add salmon, zucchini, tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Greek seasoning, red pepper flakes, and salt to the pan. Use a gloved hand to mix until all ingredients are evenly seasoned and coated. Rub seasoning and garlic into both sides of your salmon if needed.
- Re-arrange salmon and vegetables in an even layer throughout the pan, making sure the salmon is touching the bottom. Sprinkle with feta cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through, but still flaky and tender. Once the salmon is done cooking, gently burst any whole cherry tomatoes with a fork or tongs.
- Plate over rice and with a generous dollop of tzatziki. Enjoy!
Notes
- I use 2-3 Tbsp of tzatziki per bowl.
- Skip red pepper flakes if you don't like heat.
- For extra protein, cook rice in bone broth instead of regular broth. Or, swap rice for an equal amount of quinoa.
- Make it easier by using instant rice instead of cooking it yourself.
- Feel free to double the recipe to serve more people.
- Greek seasoning and feta have a considerable amount of salt, so feel free to reduce or omit the added salt if you're watching your sodium.
