Servings 4
Ingredients
Spiced salmon
- 1 pound salmon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Caramelized onion and pepper relish
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 medium red onion sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium bell pepper sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- ½ teaspoon of sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Dill feta yogurt sauce
- 4 ounces crumbled feta
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Season the salmon. Combine olive oil with minced garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano. Spread seasoning mix on salmon and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the caramelized onion and pepper relish. Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the red onion and season with salt. Cook until browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced ginger, sherry vinegar, sugar, and saute for another minute, tossing to combine. Season the relish with salt and pepper and add chopped basil.
- Bake the salmon for about 12-14 minutes or until the fish flakes easily. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
- While the salmon is baking, make the whipped feta. In a food processor, puree feta with Greek yogurt, fresh dill, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the whipped feta onto a platter and place the salmon on top followed by the onion and pepper relish. Garnish with more fresh basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can prepare the dill feta yogurt sauce the day before.
