For the celebration of World Health Day. The diet I follow, which is for hypertension, is very similar to the Mediterranean diet, so all the ingredients suggested for the latter suit me very well. This dish is rich in vegetables, healthy fats, fiber, omega-3, and protein, which I accompanied with quinoa to increase the amount of protein and fiber.

Cooking Instructions

25 minutes
  1. 1

    Prepare all the ingredients. You can buy zucchini already spiralized or make it at home with a spiralizer. If you don't have one, you can cut it into thin strips. Za'atar is a spice blend from Middle Eastern cuisine that gives food a delicious flavor. I buy it from a brand that offers a great variety of spices and seasonings.

  2. 2

    Rub the salmon fillet with olive oil and sprinkle with za'atar. Separately, mix all the vegetables with the olives, garlic, and tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place in a baking dish and put the salmon in the middle. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. Serve with quinoa and drizzle with a few drops of lemon juice. Enjoy!
