List Steps

Step 1 Of 5

Preheat your grill to 450°F.

Cut filet into 4 equal portions and season with salt and pepper.

Place salmon on hot grates and grill for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and grill to desired doneness, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill.

In a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter then add the rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add oregano and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside.

Divide rice into 4 servings, then add cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and olives. Top with a scoop of tzatziki and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh dill. Place a grilled salmon fillet on top and drizzle with red wine vinegar and olive oil.
