# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 -
Grab a tiny bowl and stir together onion powder, dried basil, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, kosher salt, and pepper. Keep it on the side for later.
03 -
Use a paper towel to gently dry the fillets. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of the mixed seasoning evenly over them.
04 -
Put the seasoned salmon into a greased skillet. Spread the lemon slices around the fillets to infuse them with citrusy flavor.
05 -
Pop the skillet in the hot oven. Let the salmon bake for 12-15 minutes, or until it hits 145°F (63°C) and flakes when poked with a fork.
06 -
As the salmon cooks, take a bowl and combine diced cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, feta cheese, kalamata olives, fresh mint, some olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir gently!
07 -
Drizzle the baked salmon with olive oil and cover the top with the Mediterranean mix. Serve it immediately—feel free to pair it with some couscous or veggies!
# Notes:
01 -
For a quicker option, air fry at 400°F (200°C) for around 8-10 minutes.
02 -
Leftovers? Store cooked salmon in the fridge—it'll stay good for 3 days.

Goes wonderfully with roasted vegetables or a light couscous salad.
