I didn&#8217;t follow a particular recipe, but made it up as I went along. Sounds scary right? It actually turned out phenomenally and it&#8217;s my favorite Salmon dish to date!<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll be honest, I don&#8217;t do a lot of measuring. I guesstimate a lot of the time. But I&#8217;ll give you approximate amounts of the ingredients that I used. This dinner serves 4.<\/p>\n<p><b><u>Mediterranean Salmon <\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><u><br \/>\n<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>1.5 Cups of black and green olives<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>2 Cups of spinach<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>1\/4 Cup of onions<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>1 Red pepper<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>1 small tomato<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>4 small mozzarella balls (about 2 inches in size each)<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Pinch of pepper<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>-The ingredients above are for the mixture that you top the Salmon with. I do not have a food processor (I probably should get one), but I do have a chopping bowl that was my great great grandmothers. I use it ALL the time and it&#8217;s amazing. So I chopped up all of the ingredients very fine.<\/p>\n<p>-Then I took the Salmon and laid it out on pan, and smothered it in lemon juice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I put generous amounts of the mixture on top of the Salmon. I cooked the Salmon wrapped in tin foil so the flavors are more rich. Cook in oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Smashed Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Potatoes <\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 Large Sweet Potatoes<\/li>\n<li>1 Table Spoons of Cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1 Table Spoon of Sugar<\/li>\n<li>3 Table Spoons of Butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; Boil Sweet Potatoes in a large pot until extremely soft with skins on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Use a Potato masher to &#8220;smash&#8221; the potatoes. It should not be difficult at all because the sweet potatoes should be extremely soft.<\/p>\n<p>-Add ingredients to the sweet potatoes and serve!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9957 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/06\/salmon-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/06\/salmon-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/06\/salmon.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>FUN FACTS ABOUT SWEET POTATOES<\/b>: Sweet potatoes are very healthy.
