Notes
Cook Time for Salmon:
10 minutes for medium salmon
15 minutes for medium well salmon (I don't recommend cooking beyond 15 minutes)
Za'atar Substitute:Za'atar is a middle eastern spice blend that traditionally uses thyme, sumac, and sesame seeds. Although the one I use is from my trip to Israel and contains the ancient (biblical) spice Hyssop. You can find Za'atar blends in some specialty grocery stores, online, or make your own. Or... if all of that seems like too much trouble you can absolutely just use a pinch of dried thyme and a pinch of dried oregano, it's not the same (Za'atar purists please don't yell at me!) but it works perfectly well in this recipe.
