    Ingredients

    To make this quick and easy, delicious Greek salmon, you will need the following ingredients (full measurements in recipe card below):

    • salmon - you will need about 1 lb. of salmon cut into fillets. I cut mine into to 2 large fillets, but I typically cut mine into 4 filets for more individual portions.
    • olive oil
    • lemon juice
    • fresh dill
    • dried oregano - you can also substitute this with Italian seasoning.
    • garlic
    • salt and pepper

    You will also need a small mixing bowl and quarter sheet baking pan.

    How to Make the Best Greek Salmon

    1. Prep. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pat dry salmon fillets and place skin-side down on a lined quarter sheet baking pan.
    2. Marinate. In a small mixing bowl, stir to combine olive oil, lemon juice, dill, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush or pour the marinade over the salmon and let it sit while the oven is preheating.
    3. Bake. Bake for 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with an extra squeeze of lemon juice on top, if desired.

    How to Serve Greek Salmon

    Greek you can serve Greek Salmon on its own or over a bowl of rice (try Rice Pilaf with Carrots or a simple Basmati Rice), with a side of Pita Bread, Roasted Vegetables, or over a Greek Salad.

    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    • Air Fryer instructions: You can easily cook this salmon in the air fryer. To air fry, place the salmon in a single layer into the air fryer basket (you may have to do this in 2 batches). Air fry at 400F for about 10 minutes.
    • How to store: Leftover salmon will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container. Allow the fish to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
    • How to reheat salmon: Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes, or in the microwave for about 1 minute. You can also reheat in a preheated oven or air fryer at 300F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. You can also eat leftovers cold over a salad or in a sandwich.

      This is our new favorite salmon recipe! The only modification I make is use dry dill (about a tsp), just because I always have it on hand.

      YUM! I recommend baking the salmon on a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet so the air circulates better. Super good!
