Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fillets Salmon (fresh or high-quality frozen)
  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano (or fresh oregano)
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes (to taste)
  • 1 tsp Salt (kosher or sea salt)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 cups Cooked Jasmine Rice (or brown rice/quinoa)
  • 1 can Canned Chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives (or green/black olives)
  • 2 tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (or lime juice)
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese (or non-dairy feta)
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Oregano (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Let it warm up, releasing that wonderful aroma.
  2. Season the Salmon: While the pan heats, season the salmon fillets with smoked paprika, oregano, dried parsley (if using), red chili flakes, and salt. Make sure each fillet is well-coated to maximize flavor.
  3. Sear the Salmon: Once the oil is hot and shimmering, gently place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Carefully flip them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Add the Veggies: Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, and olives. Stir together for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Squeeze in Lemon: Add freshly squeezed lemon juice to the veggie mixture and stir well.
  6. Assemble the Dish: Return salmon to the skillet on top of the veggies, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to melt.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh oregano (if desired), and serve over jasmine rice or grain of choice.

Notes

Pairs well with a green salad or roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
