Feta & Herb Crusted Salmon

For this Mediterranean-inspired dish, you just arrange your salmon on a sheet tray (lined with aluminum foil for the easiest cleanup), sprinkle on the toppings, and bake it for 25 minutes. No flipping, no sticking, and no mess!

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 large salmon fillet (about 2 1/4 lb.)
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 c. mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 c. crumbled feta (about 7 oz.)
  • 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with foil and grease with cooking spray. 
  2. Step 2Arrange salmon flesh side up on prepared sheet; season flesh side with salt and pepper. Spread mayonnaise over flesh side.
  3. Step 3In a medium bowl, toss feta, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and garlic just to combine, leaving feta in crumbles. Sprinkle over mayonnaise. 
  4. Step 4Bake salmon until just cooked through and flesh easily flakes with a fork, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with lemon wedges alongside.
