Salmón al horno con salsa de pepino y menta

Ingredientes

• 2 pieces salmon (or 1 larger piece totaling about 1 pound)
• Olive oil
• Garlic powder
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 3 Persian cucumbers (chopped)
• Small handful fresh mint (chopped finely)
• 1/4 teaspoon za'atar (or more to taste)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt & pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.

2. 2

   Lightly coat the salmon in some olive oil, and then gently sprinkle on a bit of garlic powder and salt & pepper. Bake until it's cooked through (check after 8-10 minutes for a thinner piece of salmon)... a good rule of thumb is about 5 minutes baking time per half inch of thickness.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, combine all the cucumber salsa ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until needed.

4. 4

   Once the fish is done, serve it with the cucumber salsa on the side. This dish is also very tasty when the salmon is cooked then chilled for a few hours.
