Salmon with Tomato and Feta Topping

Take four sexy little salmon filets and get them all dressed up for the evening in the following marinade:

2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

Let the two get together in a covered bowl and
let the salmon get all romantic in the fridge for an hour.

Meanwhile, make a topping for the salmon with:

2 cups roma tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 chopped fresh parsley

When the salmon has marinated one hour, preheat your gill to medium high.

Grill the salmon about 3-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your filet.

To plate, top with the tomato feta mixture and enjoy!
