Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Toppings

  • 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 6 oz)
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup olives, pitted and sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon.
  2. Prepare the Topping Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced olives (if using), olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to blend all flavors.
  3. Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a baking dish. Season each fillet evenly with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  4. Add the Topping: Spoon the feta and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring each piece is well covered.
  5. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the salmon moist while it cooks. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove Foil and Continue Baking: Take off the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute other herbs such as basil or thyme to vary the flavor profile.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftover salmon can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to preserve moisture and flavor.
