Ingredients

For the Salmon

  • 16 oz. salmon, cut into 4 even pieces
  • 3 Tbsp. Heinen's extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tsp. dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper

For the Bowls

  • 1 5 oz. container Great Lakes Growers Mediterranean Mix Lettuce
  • 1 pint of Tomz snacking tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Heinen's roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Heinen's Kalamata olives, sliced
  • ½ English cucumber, diced
  • 5 green onions, green and white parts chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp. of your favorite spice (sumac, za'atar or paprika)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet.
  4. Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil and lemon juice.
  5. Sprinkle the dill, salt and pepper over the salmon.
  6. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. A good rule of thumb is to cook the salmon about 10 minutes per 1-inch thickness, or until the thickest part of the salmon is 145˚F.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven, flake it into large chucks and set it in a bowl.
  8. Divide the lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, roasted red peppers, olives, cucumbers, green onions and parsley between four bowls.
  9. Add the chunks of salmon into each bowl.
  10. In a Mason jar or salad dressing jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, spices and garlic. Mix well.
  11. Drizzle the dressing over the salmon bowls. Enjoy!
