Feta and Herb Crusted Salmon

 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.

 

Feta and Herb Crusted Salmon

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.

 

Feta and Herb Crusted Salmon

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!

If you have salmon but no Feta in the fridge – try my Lime and Garlic Salmon

Or an easy Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner!

    How many pounds should the salmon filet be?

      Hi Marilyn – it doesnt matter too much. You just sprinkle the topping on any size fillet. Most run about 2 pounds. I like Steelhead from Costco if that helps! But this will work on any salmon.

    I think this may be my new favorite salmon recipe! Tried it tonight and LOVED it! I never knew feta cheese would pair so well with salmon.

    Hi Ms. Kath,
    While I know this is a fairly quick and easy meal, I was wondering if it would be possible to make it as a freezer meal?
    Ie. Put the feta and herbs on the salmon, vacuum pack it, and freeze.
    Would it be ill advised? Or if not, any recommendations?
    Thank you.

      Hi Mel! – I think anything vacuum packed stands a good chance of working! Will probably infuse those flavors pretty nicely. I’d say yes to that!

    This recipe was easy and delicious! I did spring for wild king salmon and made the recipe exactly as written. It was phenomenal! It melted in my mouth and even got kudos from my husband who doesn’t like salmon.

    This is a 5-Star dish. My wife made it tonight and when I asked for a 2nd helping I was told I would have to wait a while before it would appear back on the menu for the week. Amazing and simple !!

    I do not like chives and I am new to cooking fish, what other herbs go with salmon?

      Hi Katherine – You could use whatever fresh herb you like or just go with parsley alone! I think fresh tarragon would be really good!

    I am the same way, you don’t need to be sorry but be proud that you can make delicious & easy recipes quickly. I always say how easy my recipes are too, but That’s because I don’t have much time to cook complicated meals (it has to be quick, easy, delicious & healthy). Salmon is one of my go to meals on weeknights. Yours looks absolutely delicious, love the feta & herb topping.

    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.
