Due to the increased interest to post sea food recipes on my Facebook group, I decided to prepare a healthy sea food-based dinner 🐟
Roasted Salmon with Potatoes, Feta Cheese and Olives
Ingredients
Method
-
Wash the potatoes thoroughly in case there is any dirt on them. You can peel the skin or not – I had miniature potatoes and didn’t peel the skin
Cut the potatoes in small bite size pieces and boil them for about 5-7 minutes on the hob at a high temperature
-
Pre-heat the oven to 180 C (fan)
Drain the potatoes and put them back in the pan – season with salt, vegetable oil and finely chopped fresh dill
-
Mix well and place on a baking tray
Place the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes and take the tray out
-
In the meantime, in a plate mix 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well
-
Add the salmon fillets in the plate and toss to coat
Place the fillets on the baking tray next to the potatoes
-
Add a bit of butter to each fillet
Arrange lemon slices around the fish
Add some fresh basil
-
Bake in the oven for 15-20 more minutes
To serve, add some crumbled feta cheese and olives (sliced in half) and some fresh parsley
