Start by mixing the marinade ingredients:

Olive oil – for a smooth, rich base.

Fresh lemon juice and zest – to give it that bright, citrusy tang.

Minced garlic – adding depth of flavor.

Dried oregano, dill, and smoked paprika – for a classic Greek seasoning mix.

Salt and black pepper – to taste.

Whisk everything together in a small bowl until it’s well-combined. This marinade will infuse the salmon with that delicious Greek flavor.

Place your salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) in a shallow dish or resealable bag.

Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring every piece is coated.

Let it marinate for 15–30 minutes. If you have more time, you can marinate it for up to an hour to deepen the flavors.

Choose your preferred cooking method:

Oven-Baked Method:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets skin-side down.

ake 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes when pierced with a fork and is cooked through.

Pan-Seared Method:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat.

Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 4–5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until fully cooked.

Grilled Method:

Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F–400°F).

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4–5 minutes.

Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the salmon is perfectly cooked through.

While your salmon is cooking, prepare the Greek topping:

Cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese add the perfect Mediterranean touch.

Toss these ingredients together in a bowl and sprinkle over your cooked salmon for an extra burst of fresh flavors.
