How to Cook Sheet Pan Mediterranean Salmon
There’s no shortage of sheet pan recipes to try, but when you’re looking for something convenient, delicious, and nutritious, you’ll never go wrong with a recipe that features Omaha Steaks Faroe Island Salmon Fillets. Sustainably sourced from a small group of islands between Norway and Iceland, this steak lover’s fillet has a firm texture and rich, robust flavor and is packed with protein, vitamin D, and Omega-3s. Harvested and flash-frozen at their peak flavor for a taste that’s better than fresh, each fillet boasts a beautiful crimson-orange color that looks as good as it tastes.
1. Get Saucy
You could just purchase a pre-made tzatziki sauce from the store, but what’s the fun in that? This homemade sauce recipe is easy to follow and will have an added flavor of pride when you make it with your own two hands! Simply mix the Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance.
2. Take a Trip to the Mediterranean
Wash and prep your ingredients and preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Then, in a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, vibrant minced garlic, tangy lemon zest, bold and earthy oregano, and seasoned salt, which will deliver more dimension and flavor to your dish than plain salt.
3. Go Fishin’
You don’t have to live on a coast to enjoy the rich and buttery taste of ocean-fresh salmon when you have Omaha Steaks Faroe Island Salmon Fillets. These mild-flavored fillets are as easy to prepare as they are delicious! Just line your sheet tray with foil or parchment and place your salmon on it, spaced 1 inch apart.
4. Build Your Dish!
Now that your Mediterranean mixture and salmon are prepped, it’s time to put it all together. Brush your mixture over the salmon and then add the sliced onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and kalamata olives to the remaining mixture in the bowl. Stir the bowl’s contents until well mixed, then pour it evenly around the salmon. Place the sheet pan on the center rack in your oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon reaches 145 degrees F.
5. Enjoy!
Finally, plate your perfectly cooked salmon and Mediterranean mixture and top it with that mellow, creamy, homemade tzatziki sauce, some salty, tangy, crumbled feta, and add the pillowy, toasted naan to complement it.
