Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the baking sheet and salmon
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
2 1/4 pounds center-cut salmon fillet, skin and bones removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large avocados
12 ounces mixed-colored cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small shallot, minced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it lightly with oil.
Mix together the dill, parsley, chives and basil in a small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture for the salsa and set aside.
Put the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle the top lightly with oil, then top evenly with the herb mix. Bake until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, halve and peel the avocados and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces. Put the avocados in a large bowl and gently toss with the tomatoes, lemon juice, shallots, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the reserved herbs. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Serve the salmon with the salsa on the side.

ZUCCHINI, AVOCADO, AND POMEGRANATE SALSA

Zucchini, Avocado, and Pomegranate Salsa image

This red and green salsa combines roasted zucchini, creamy avocado, juicy pomegranate seeds, and pungent feta cheese. The avocado is a source of good fat, as is the olive oil used to coat the zucchini. Chips are cut from whole-wheat pitas, and then toasted.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 zucchini (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3 whole-wheat pitas (6 inches each)
Olive-oil, cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss zucchini with oil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Spread zucchini in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing once, until tender and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let zucchini cool completely. (Leave oven on.)
Transfer zucchini to a medium bowl. Add onion, avocado, pomegranate seeds, feta, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; gently stir to combine. Refrigerate 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
Cut pitas in half; split each half into 2 half-moons, and cut each half-moon into 3 triangles. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat both sides with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bake, flipping once, until pale golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve with salsa.
