Step-by-Step Instructions for Mediterranean Salmon
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
- Season both sides of the salmon fillets with smoked paprika, dried oregano, parsley, salt, and red chili flakes. Massage seasonings into the salmon, then place skin-side up in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
- Flip the salmon fillets using a spatula, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until opaque and flaky. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 2 cups of cooked jasmine rice, drained chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced olives. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3–5 minutes until flavors meld and tomatoes soften.
- In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped oregano. Mix well and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Fold half of the feta mixture into the rice and chickpeas, then gently place the salmon back into the pan and warm for 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle the remaining feta mixture on top. Garnish with chopped fresh oregano.
