Do you guys ever get tired of me blogging about how easy my recipes are?  I feel like that’s the first thing I say on every post….well here I go again!  This recipe is soooo easy!  No, really it is! Plus- I love that this salmon is baked- perfect for any season.
It’s Feta, a few fresh herbs, lemon and salmon.  That’s it.  Comes together in about 3 minutes and bakes up quickly on parchment or foil,  no mess! Who’s your buddy?  Who’s your pal in the kitchen?  Meeee!
No special equipment needed (because you know I am lazy and hate to clean up all those kitchen accessories).   My knife works great.  Chop up the Feta, herbs, squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt.  Spread on a salmon fillet.  Place in oven.  Sip a glass of Chardy and boom!  Gourmet meal, family is cheering, husband is kissing all over ya and life is lovely.
I always have Feta in the fridge.  I buy the big containers at Costco and use it on everything.  I have been  dieting since I was a young chub and love, love, love cheese.  Feta gives me the biggest bang for my cheesy calorie and ads a ton of flavor.
Hoping you love this easy recipe!
Clink!

Hi!
Just met you tonight while pinteresting. LOVE your sense of humor and more importantly love all the recipes I have been pouring through. Pinned a bunch. I have made the chicken avocado burgers at least 4 times now (before I found your site–I discovered the recipe on pinterest) and they will forever be a favorite of mine and my family.
Fondly-Lisa
