1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Place wild salmon filets on the baking sheet with equal space between each filet. Season the filets with kosher salt and black pepper.
3
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, and tomato paste. Mix well.
4
Add about a tablespoon of the tomato-garlic mayo mixture to each filet and use a brush (or your fingers) to spread it evenly across the tops.
5
Bake the salmon for 8 minutes. Switch the oven to a low broil and bake for an additional 6-10 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness.
6
In a medium bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano to make the Greek salad dressing.
7
Add diced cucumber, white onion, green bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and capers to the bowl with the dressing. Toss well to combine.
8
To serve, place a portion of steamed cauliflower rice on each plate, then top with a salmon filet and a serving of Greek salad. Garnish with lemon slices from the lemons and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired.
