Ingredients
olive oil
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp garlic powder
8 lamb loin chops, each about 1/2-in. thick
3 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, halved (optional)
2 roasted red peppers
1/4 cup kalamata olives
1/4 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup snipped chives, or 2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 lemon
Instructions
Position oven rack 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) from broiler. Preheat broiler and place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat with oil. In a small bowl, stir lemon-pepper seasoning with oregano and garlic powder. Sprinkle both sides of chops with spice mixture, then place on rack. Broil 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Meanwhile, pat sun-dried tomatoes and peppers dry with paper towels. Slice into thick strips. Pit olives, then coarsely chop. Place tomatoes, peppers and olives in a small bowl. Stir in feta and chives. Slice lemon in half and cut one half into 4 wedges. When chops are done, squeeze juice from remaining half overtop. Place chops on a platter and spoon pepper mixture overtop. Serve with lemon wedges. Great with sweet potatoes and asparagus.

This is a great make-ahead. Prepare the salsa a few hours before serving, then pop the chops under the broiler at the last minute ? that way, you can spend time with your guests instead of hovering over a hot stove.
