This simple recipe showcases Mediterranean flavors at their finest, with a quick, weeknight-friendly preparation method that features responsibly farmed salmon. To round out the meal, we suggest serving the salmon with a leafy green, like in a kale citrus salad, and healthy whole grain, like whole grain orecchiette. To know you’re buying farmed salmon raised to the highest environmental and social standards, look for the Aquaculture Stewardship Council logo.
