Salmon is quick-cooking and full of omega-3 fatty acids. This Mediterranean recipe adds so much flavor to the fish with olives, capers, zucchini and tomatoes.

This was surprisingly filling and very tasty. My husband called it "different" and then said he liked it. It would be good with rice or couscous or even mashed potatoes. Quick and easy, took just over 1/2 hour including prep. The longest part was pitting the olives. Had I bought pitted olives I could have saved some time, but I had Kalamata olives in the fridge and they added a lot to the taste.

Fantastic taste, well-rounded healthy, and SO easy! This recipe has become a staple in my normal salmon dinner rotation. I have even made it for a few group dinner party nights and received rave reviews! Serve over couscous.
