Healthy, delicious 5-ingredient Mediterranean Salmon foil packs only need minutes of prep for a satisfying dinner!
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
- 1/2 cup prepared pesto
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
- ½ cup crumbled Feta cheese
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (180C). Spray 4 large pieces of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
- Place each salmon fillet on top of a piece of aluminum foil. Top each fillet with about 2 tablespoons pesto, ¼ cup of onion, ¼ of the tomatoes, and approximately 2 tablespoons of feta cheese. There's no need to measure the ingredients -- just use as much or as little as you like!
- Seal the aluminum foil packets by folding them over the fish and pinching tightly to close. Place the foil packets on a large baking sheet and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- Sheet Pan Salmon: instead of foil packs, you can prepare Mediterranean salmon fillets on a sheet pan for an easy sheet pan dinner. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Prepare the salmon fillets with pesto, onions, and feta cheese. Surround the salmon with fresh tomatoes and any other veggies of your choice, and bake until the salmon is tender and flakey.
- For more flavor, season the salmon fillets with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and a spritz of lemon juice before baking. You could also add an herb and spice blend of garlic powder, dried oregano, basil, and thyme.
- Cooking just for two? Cut the ingredients in half, using only 2 salmon fillets. The cooking instructions remain the same.
- You can use fresh or frozen salmon filets in this recipe. If using frozen, make sure the salmon is completely thawed before baking.
- Atlantic salmon is the most readily available in most grocery stores, but this recipe would also work with wild-caught salmon.
- Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. If you're unsure of the doneness, use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish to be sure.
