Baked Feta Salmon is a flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring tender salmon fillets baked with creamy feta, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. It’s an easy one-pan meal that’s perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 block feta cheese (about 7 oz)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)

  2. Place the feta block in the center of a baking dish. Scatter cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves around it.
  3. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to burst.
  5. Remove from the oven and nestle the salmon fillets among the tomatoes and feta.
  6. Drizzle the salmon with a bit more olive oil and lemon juice.
