3 Simple Steps and You Have a Healthy Dinner!
Step 1: Make the Greek Marinade (aka the dill mixture)
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, freshly chopped dill, salt, and freshly crushed garlic. Pour the marinade over the salmon and allow it to hang out while you prepare the veggies
Step 2: Prepare the veggies
Snap the asparagus to remove the woody bottom, add to a large bowl with olives thickly sliced red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Cover all the veggies with the remaining fresh dill marinade and toss together to coat.
Step 3: Arrange on the Sheet Pan and Cook
Arrange the salmon and veggies on the sheet pan, tuck into the veggies a few lemon slices. I like to add additional herbs (totally optional). Whatever I have around, thyme, oregano, and rosemary are favorites. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. If your filets are thicker, you may need an extra 5 minutes.
COOKING SALMON IN THE OVEN TIP!
Salmon Cooking Tip: Cook at 425° for 4-6 minutes per ½ inch of salmon thickness.
To avoid overcooking the veggies, remove the asparagus around the 10-15 minute mark if needed.
Finish with a Flourish and Enjoy!
In my book all things are made better by feta, I sprinkle feta on top before serving and add a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Storage Tips:
- STORAGE – Store in an airtight container for 3 days
- REHEATING – Reheat in the oven at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until warm.
- FREEZING – Freeze for up to 1 month in an airtight freezer-safe storage container.
🤓 Abra's Nutrition Tips!
Eating for health can be as colorful as it is powerful! Incorporating a variety of vibrant veggies into your meals doesn’t just make your plate prettier—it packs a serious nutritional punch. This concept of “eating the rainbow” ensures you’re loading up on phytonutrients, those natural compounds that help protect plants (and you!) from environmental damage. Each color in your food spectrum offers unique health benefits: red tomatoes are rich in lycopene (great for heart health), green asparagus brings in chlorophyll and vitamin K, and purple olives provide anthocyanins, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. By mixing up your veggie game, you’re covering all your nutritional bases!
Now, pair this colorful variety with omega-3-rich salmon, and you've got a powerhouse combo for your body and brain. Omega-3s, like EPA and DHA, found abundantly in wild salmon, are champions for heart health and brain function. They help reduce inflammation, improve cholesterol levels, and even support mental clarity. Omega-3s work alongside the phytonutrients in your veggies to keep inflammation in check and boost overall wellness. Eating the rainbow plus omega-3s is a perfect recipe for longevity, vitality, and a happy heart!

Greek Sheet Pan Salmon
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Wild Salmon Cut into filets – about 4 large filets
- 1/4 cup fresh dill finely chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt divided
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
FOR SERVING
- fresh lemon wedges
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°
- In a small bowl combine 2 tbsp olive oil with 1/4 cup freshly chopped dill, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1 crushed clove of garlic. Whisk to combine.
- Place salmon filets skin side down on a baking sheet, top each salmon filet with 1/2 of the fresh dill mixture.
- Add to a large bowl asparagus (trimmed), tomatoes, olives (optional), red onions toss with remaining dill mixture. Arrange on sheet pan around salmon adding additional sliced lemon.
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, or until salmon easily flakes and is tender. If your salmon filets are extra thick it could take an additional 5 minutes (best formula is 4-6 minutes per 1/2 inch of salmon)- if salmon has to cook longer I recommend removing the asparagus so as not to overcook. Most asparagus will be done around the 10-15 minute mark.
- Remove from oven and scatter crumbled feta cheese over the salmon and veggies, return to the oven for 2 more minutes
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice
