step 1

Thinly slice the Vidalia Onion (1), Cucumber (1), and half of the Lemon (1). Chop the Fresh Mint Leaves (10), and mince the Garlic (1 clove).

step 2

In a small, oven-safe dish, take 3/4 of the sliced onions and make a bed for resting the salmon. Season the Salmon Fillets (12 oz) liberally on all sides with Greek Seasoning (to taste) and place skin-side down.

step 3

Arrange the sliced lemon and Fresh Oregano (2 sprigs) on top of the fish. Pour the Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) over the fish, allowing it to coat the onions on the bottom of the pan. Let stand 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
