How to Make Oven Roasted Mediterranean Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Mediterranean Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Season two 6-ounce salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Arrange the salmon fillets in a single layer in a baking dish.
  5. Spoon the Mediterranean sauce evenly around and over the salmon.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Spoon any remaining sauce over the salmon and serve immediately.
