Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (4–6 oz each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a shallow dish, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Add the salmon fillets and turn to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
During the last 5 minutes of baking, scatter the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and chopped parsley over and around the salmon fillets.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and serve immediately. Drizzle any remaining juices from the baking sheet over the salmon for an extra boost of flavor.
