Ingredients
Baked salmon fillets:
- 1 lb Alaska salmon 4 fillets

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 lemon juice of
Greek Salmon Salad:
- 8 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 2 Persian cucumbers chopped
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup kalamata olives
Lemon Dill Dressing
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and brush them with olive oil.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper and dried oregano on the fillets and squeeze half a lemon on them.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until cooked and flaky. Let the salmon cool for a few minutes before adding it to the salad to avoid the lettuce wilting.

- Make the dressing by mixing lemon juice, olive oil, salt, dill, minced garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Place the cooked salmon on the salad and drizzle the lemon dill dressing on the salad.

Notes
In addition to baking, you can also grill or pan sear the salmon for this recipe:
Pan sear: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt, pepper and oregano. Sear for about 6 minutes on each side, making sure it's fully cooked. If the salmon fillets are thicker, cook for longer. Grill: Preheat the grill and season the salmon fillets. Once the grill is hot, grill the salmon for about 5-7 minutes on each side. I prefer to use a grilling mat when it comes to grilling salmon.

- To make this salad ahead of time: Chop and store all the vegetables in separate containers. Cook the salmon and assemble the salad.
- You can add other ingredients such as peppers or marinated artichokes or feta cheese to this salad.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container (keep the salmon separate) and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
