Preparation
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, zest, and chopped dill or parsley, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until it's time to serve.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they're softened, then stir in the cherry tomatoes, olives, capers (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Press the cold, cooked rice into an even layer in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 6-8 minutes, until the bottom is golden and crispy. Season with salt, and if desired, flip or stir to crisp additional sides before dividing among serving bowls.
- Pat your salmon fillets dry and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a separate nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden and just cooked through.
- Start by topping the crispy rice with the sautéed vegetables. Place one salmon fillet on each bowl, then drizzle generously with the lemon-yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
- Optional: Garnish with extra dill or parsley for an appealing finish.
