“I love a good sheet pan meal. Not only is it less dishes for me to wash, but they are versatile, and family-friendly. This sheet pan salmon recipe is just that. It’s delicious, nutritious, and can easily become one of your staple weeknight meals. Salmon is a great source of protein with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It helps support your heart health by helping reduce your cholesterol and blood pressure. Salmon is a staple in our house because it’s versatile. I buy BAP-certified salmon and other seafood,” says Maria Koutsogiannis Camacho, the plant-based vegan chef, food stylist, and author at FoodByMaria. (“BAP-certified seafood is an aquaculture, or fish farming, certification program that exists to ensure your seafood is being sourced responsibly. It ensures that seafood meets four key requirements—environmental, social, food safety, and animal health and welfare throughout the production chain so you can feel confident in what you’re eating.”)
FoodByMaria is on a mission to change the way people eat and understand food. From recipes, a cookbook, photography, recipe development, and much more. Koutsogiannis shares recipes of all kinds, with particular focuses on Greek food, creative vegan alternatives, and gluten-free meals. She has amassed a following on social media across multiple platforms. “It’s where I post my Mediterranean Greek recipes, it started as a plant-based blog and it transformed over the years,” she explained. “I began my Instagram in 2014 with my husband. I eventually ended up quitting a full-time job to become a content creator and it was something that none of us really could have expected. I went to school to become an accountant, and a recipe developer was not something I expected to become.”
Koutsogiannis wants to stay true to her Greek roots, as her parents immigrated from Greece to Canada only 40 years ago. Her family owned a small restaurant and bar in Swift Current in Saskatchewan, and she grew up with the cultural influence all around her. “My parents owned Kabos,” she stated. “I grew up in the small Greek community there, eating good, healthy food. I just followed my heart and ended up cooking.”
“FoodByMaria has become more than I ever imagined. I am thankful to bring my food, ingrained in my family history, and the recipes I grew up with from my Greek mama and yia-yia into your homes. This recipe requires just a few simple ingredients and about 40 minutes to make. Serve with your favorite dip or sauce, and whatever fresh herbs you have on hand.”
