Mediterranean Style Salmon Bake

Ending this week with a delicious and nutritious Mediterranean Salmon Bake. I thought it was too good not to share with you.

This dish is packed with healthy fats, vegetables and flavor.

Ingredients

• 6 salmon fillets (medium-sized)
• 2 red onions, roughly chopped
• 12 rosa tomatoes, halved
• 12 pitted Kalamata olives, halved
• 100 g small asparagus
•  2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp dried chili flakes
• 3 tbsp freshly chopped oregano or 2 tsp dried oregano
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 can coconut cream
• 3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
• 125 ml fresh lemon juice
• 80 g feta, cut into cubes

Method

1.  Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
2. In a large baking dish, arrange the salmon fillets (skin side up) evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, chili flakes, garlic and oregano.
3. Place the red onions, tomatoes, olives, and asparagus around and in between the salmon fillets. Pour over the coconut cream, olive oil and lemon juice.
4. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and place the feta over the salmon fillets. Put the dish back into the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes on 220°C until the skin is crispy.
6. Season with extra sea salt and black pepper if needed. Enjoy with quinoa, brown rice, or polenta and salad.
