Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Salmon
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Make the Feta Herb Crust
- In a bowl, mix feta, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, dill, oregano, and panko (if using) until combined.
Step 3: Top & Bake
- Spoon the feta mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. (For a golden crust, broil for an additional 2 minutes.)
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Garnish with extra fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Pair it with roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a Greek salad.
- For extra crunch, add more panko breadcrumbs to the topping.
- Make it dairy-free by skipping feta and using a blend of chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for the crust.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
