Because we try to faithfully follow the Mediterranean diet, I’ve been looking for new, easy ways to prepare fish. This garlic salmon recipe is one of those that came together on a whim of experimentation, and I’m so glad it did. It’s become another quick go-to sheet pan dinner, for which I will not apologize.
Watch How to Make this Easy Salmon Recipe
There is no big technique behind this delicious garlic salmon. I mean, it’s salmon, tossed on a baking sheet with a few veggies, right?! But it’s the simple, decidedly Middle Eastern twist that took salmon to a whole new level for me… Za’atar!
The game changer here is our new all-natural za’atar spice–an aromatic spice blend with earthy depth and subtle citrus undertones. This particular blend features wild quality wild thyme, toasted sesame seeds, and sumac, sourced from Turkey and North Africa.
What to serve with Za’atar Garlic Salmon
To save time and energy, I like to toss in some vegetables to roast with the salmon. This time, baby potatoes, tomatoes and broccoli florets. But if you’re looking to add more, try: 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad; Lebanese rice; and perhaps a dip like roasted red pepper hummus, or Baba Ganoush!
