BHA & BHT Free Mediterranean Baked Salmon

Flaky salmon roasted over a vibrant tangle of cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and Kalamata olives is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks like you spent hours on it. The spiced olive oil rub — built from cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric — soaks into the fillets as they roast at high heat, giving every bite a warm, aromatic depth that pairs beautifully with the briny vegetables underneath. For anyone navigating preservative-free eating, this recipe is a natural fit because every single ingredient is whole and unprocessed — no packaged spice blends, no canned shortcuts with additive-heavy ingredient lists, just real food. BHA and BHT tend to sneak into processed oils, seasoning packets, and canned goods, so building the flavor from scratch with extra virgin olive oil and individual spices keeps things clean without any compromise on taste. A bright finish of fresh lemon juice, zest, and chopped parsley lifts the whole pan right before serving, cutting through the richness of the salmon in the best possible way. Everything cooks on one sheet pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor from the roasted juices pooling around the fish. It's the kind of recipe you'll want on permanent rotation.
