Ingredients

Easy Zesty Baked Salmon

• 16-24 oz Wild Caught Salmon, Skinless Filets
• 2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• 1/2 Lemon (or lemon juice)

Fresh Greek Salad

• 2-4 cups Organic Romaine Lettuce
• 2-4 cups Organic Spinach (or organic dark leafy salad green of choice)
• 1 large Organic Cucumber, diced
• 8-10 Organic Cherry/Grape Tomatoes, vertically halved or quartered (to preference)
• 1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts (or to taste)
• 2-4 oz Feta Cheese (or to taste)

• About 1/2 cup Lemon Basil Vinaigrette (Recipe included below)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 (F). Prepare a glass baking dish by brushing (or applying by hand) a thin layer of olive oil across the bottom and sides of baking dish. (Alternatively, line a baking dish with parchment paper.)
2. Remove salmon from packaging, dry each filet with a paper towel and place in the bottom of your baking dish. Massage each salmon filet with a bit of olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then squeeze a quarter of a lemon over the filets evenly. (If you are not using fresh lemon, sprinkle or drizzle a little lemon juice over filets as evenly as possible - go light on the juice.)
3. Place in preheated oven, and set a timer for 15 minutes. When timer sounds, remove from oven, and squeeze the other quarter of lemon over the fish (or lightly drizzle with juice). Return to oven for an additional 5-8 minutes until cooked through and desired texture has been reached.
4. Meanwhile, prepare your Lemon Basil Vinaigrette dressing. (Use the recipe provided below.)
5. Then, prepare salad. Chop all romaine and dark leafy greens into bite sized pieces, then place in a large mixing bowl. Add diced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, and sliced onion. Mix until evenly distributed. Drizzle 1/3 to 1/2 of your vinaigrette dressing over the salad, and stir again making sure that all vegetables are evenly coated. (If you are meal prepping for a future lunch or dinner, see Meal Prep Tip in notes.)
6. Separate salads into bowls, and top with 1 salmon fillet (4-6 oz) each. Drizzle with more dressing to taste, and top with chopped walnuts and feta cheese to taste.

Notes

Salad Green Base: Feel free to mix and match your preferred ratios or amounts with the leafy greens. For instance, you may want to have more dark greens than romaine, or you may want to make your salad a little bigger. If using the Goal-Specific Method, be sure you're tracking changes made to the recipe.

Meal Prep Tip: If you are preparing future dinners or lunches, make sure to store your salad with tomatoes and dressing separate. This keeps your meal prep fresher longer and helps prevent soggy salads.
