Greek Roasted Salmon with Lemon Rice

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, 4-6 oz each
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red onion, cut into thick wedges
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup feta, reduced-fat or fat-free
  • 1/4 cup olives
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Lemon Rice

  • 1 cup brown rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken broth, low-sodium
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Bring broth to a boil, add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40–45 minutes. While it cooks, prepare and roast the salmon (about 15 minutes).
  2. When the rice is cooked, stir in the lemon juice and olive oil.
  3. Drizzle salmon, cherry tomatoes and onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  4. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. (The tomatoes will burst and create a natural "sauce" for the fish). Salmon should flake easily and register ~145°F at the thickest part.
  5. While the salmon is hot on the pan, immediately top it with: feta, olives and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with a side salad or sautéed greens
