This salmon is just delightful.

DELIGHTFUL.

These fabulous Mediterranean flavors in each bite of salmon…..seriously, I wanted to eat 3 fillets.

Plus, it’s light and healthy and clean.

Before you start hitting up my inbox with “there’s no way salmon is a $5 dinner!”….yes, salmon is more expensive. Yes, it’s like $7-$10/lb. when it’s on sale…or $10-$13/lb. when it’s not on sale.

But I like to pair it with inexpensive ingredients (like rice) and other ingredients that I had on hand (in this case, the capers and black olives). If you wanted to leave the capers out of this one, you could…to keep the overall meal costs down. But if you’d use them for other meals – like chicken piccata or something else – then grab a jar.

With the tomatoes, olives and oregano, you’d still get the amazing Medit flavors!

Enjoy!!
