The garden-fresh taste of gently cooked zucchini and cherry tomatoes pairs beautifully with the rich, hearty taste of salmon.
Prep: 25 minutes Total: 25 minutes
Ingredients
Serves 1
1 salmon steak, (about 8 ounces)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 cherry tomatoes
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, (about 4 ounces), halved lengthwise, then sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place salmon in a small baking dish or ovenproof skillet; drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon oil.
Make the rub: In a small bowl, stir together mint, garlic, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Sprinkle half the rub mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon. Bake salmon until opaque throughout (about 10 minutes).
Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, and cook, tossing occasionally until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in scallion, tomatoes, and remaining rub mixture. Cook just to heat through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper; serve with salmon.
