Ingredients

4 salmon steaks bone in
Strained juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon Greek pine honey or more to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons extra virgin Greek olive oil
1 large red onion finely chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
8 cups baby spinach
2 leeks trimmed and chopped
1 bunch dill or wild fennel chopped
Finely grated zest of half a lemon
3 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
1 ½ cups crumbled Greek feta

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Rinse and pat dry the fish. Whisk together the lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the salmon in a bowl and marinate in this mixture while you prepare the vegetables.
In a large bowl, mix together the onion, garlic, leeks, spinach, dill or fennel, sweet potatoes, remaining olive oil, lemon zest, 1 cup of feta, salt and pepper.
Place the vegetable mixture on the bottom of a large oven-proof glass baking dish. Place the marinated salmon steaks on top. Pour any marinade left in the bowl over the salmon and sprinkle with remaining feta. Cover with parchment then aluminum foil and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the salmon is fork tender and the vegetables wilted and soft. Remove and serve.
