Super Easy Baked Mediterranean Salmon

This dish is the perfect blend of flavors. You have the fresh salmon, the salty olives, the sweet peppers and tomatoes, and the garlicky couscous. Plus, I whipped up a little cumin yogurt sauce that is just about good enough to eat by the spoonful. YUM, YUM, YUM!

4 salmon fillets, skin on or off, your choice
1 large red pepper, sliced
1 cup whole, pitted olives
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 1/2 tbs dried oregano
1 recipe garlic couscous
olive oil
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 375. Drizzle a little olive oil on a baking pan and add the salmon and turn to coat. Add the peppers, olives, and tomatoes and stir to coat a bit. Sprinkle the oregano over the dish and add a little salt and pepper. Bake for about 25 minutes, until Salmon is flakey.

Cumin Yogurt Sauce

1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbs lemon juice
salt and pepper

Mix above ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Serve with Mediterranean style dishes, veggies, or pita bread.
