Baked Salmon Seasoned with Olive Oil and Cracked Black Pepper

Found on Zest My Lemon's Instagram here

I made this in August and forgot to post.

Baked salmon seasoned with olive oil and cracked black pepper with brown rice, zucchini sautéed in olive oil, crunchy snap peas and butter garlic mushrooms

For the salmon, place on a sheet pan over lemon slices, season with garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt and olive oil. Bake in oven or toaster oven on 400 for 12-15 minutes depending on the size of the salmon. Mine was a one pounder or air fry in a 390-400 F preheated air fryer for 12-15 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a pan on the stovetop on medium high heat until hot. Add desired veggies (mushrooms, peas, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, zucchini would all work) season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Add additional seasoning/herbs/spices of choice to taste if desired. Lower heat a little so the oil doesn’t get too hot and the veggies don’t burn. Occasionally give a toss with a large spoon until the veggies are lightly golden. About 7-8 minutes.

This turned out great. The salmon reminded me a lot of how my dad used to grill it on the BBQ. My veggies were just mushrooms and zucchini with white rice. It was very filling and would do again.

You found all sorts of yummy things in August. This looks really good. Salmon is one of my favorite fish. I had never thought of eating it with mixed veg and rice. I came from a family that served fish with potatoes of various types. Fried fish was generally served with potatoes and corn on the cob. It sometimes surprises me how settled into habits that you've had since childhood.
