Baked Feta Salmon
Description
The recipe distributes quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped green pepper, and red onion around an unseasoned salmon fillet in an oven-safe dish. Feta cheese and pitted kalamata olives add richness and briny depth. Pressed garlic and half the salt and oregano are tossed with olive oil and vegetables for flavor coating. Additional oregano and crushed red pepper are sprinkled atop the salmon, along with more olive oil if desired.
Baking at 400°F for 15 minutes cooks the salmon through and softens the vegetables while mellowing their acidity. The feta melts slightly, adding creaminess, and the olives provide a salty contrast. The dish is finished with fresh basil for a bright aromatic note. The balance of dairy, seafood, and vegetables reflects Mediterranean cuisine.
This baked salmon can be served easily with a side of choice, such as leafy greens, rice, or crusty bread, to complement the rich and tangy flavors. It is straightforward to prepare yet yields layered taste experiences thanks to the blend of feta, olives, and fresh herbs.
Leftovers, if any, can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheated gently in the oven to maintain texture.
