Prep time: 25 Minutes

Total time: 25 Minutes

Yield: Serves 1

    Ingredients

  • 1 salmon steak (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced
  • 1 small zucchini (about 4 ounces) halved lengthwise, then sliced crosswise ¼ inch thick

    Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place salmon in a small baking dish or ovenproof skillet; drizzle with ¼ teaspoon oil.
  2. Make the rub: In a small bowl, stir together mint, garlic, oregano, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  3. Sprinkle half the rub mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon. Bake salmon until opaque throughout (about 10 minutes).
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, and cook, tossing occasionally until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in scallion, tomatoes, and remaining rub mixture. Cook just to heat through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper; serve with salmon.

Tips/Techniques

Note: Once salmon steak is cooked, it's easy to remove the skin: Place a fork between the skin and the flesh at one of the ends; twist the fork (like you would with spaghetti) until all the skin has wound around it.
