Mediterranean Baked Salmon with Feta & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

 

Juicy, herby, and bursting with bold flavor! This dish brings together the richness of salmon, the tang of feta, and the sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes — a true Mediterranean delight.

 

Ingredients:

 

• 2 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless, about 6 oz each)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: lemon wedges & fresh parsley for serving

 

‍ Instructions:

 

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

 

2. Prepare a Baking Dish:

Lightly grease a small baking dish or line with parchment paper.

 

3. Season the Salmon:

Pat the salmon dry. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the fillets and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano. Place them in the baking dish.

 

4. Make the Mediterranean Topping:

In a bowl, mix the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, red onion, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Spoon this mixture generously over each salmon fillet.

 

5. Add the Feta:

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the tomato-spinach mixture.
