Baked Feta Salmon

An easy, delicious and healthy weeknight meal. This Baked Feta Salmon is a one dish meal, too! I’m always looking for quick weeknight meals that everyone will love. This recipe is a great combo of salt from the cheese and olives mixed with the roasted tomatoes and fresh basil.

Then to top off a beautiful baked piece of salmon with the baked feta mix makes this dish a winner.

Tik Tok Viral made Keto

You must check out the viral sensation known as Baked Feta Pasta (see here). Of course we do not do pasta here, but that does not mean we can’t make this work for us. With the simple addition of a few items and skipping the pasta we have a gorgeous low carb meal everyone will love.

Salmon Filets

For this Baked Feta Salmon recipe I use center cut skin on salmon filet. Salmon filets tend to be different thickness. Mine are usually between 1-2″ in thickness. Thickness will vary and such so will your cooking time.

Thicker salmon filets will go in the oven with the tomato mixture to all cook together. Should your fish be thinner you may wish to start baking the tomato mixture for about 10 minutes, then add the fish to finish baking for another 10 minutes.

Again, I like thick salmon filets so I can bake everything together.

Dump it ALL in

Into the casserole dish I dump cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, red onions, and kalamata olives.

Next you will sprinkle 1 tsp of italian seasonings, add some crush garlic, and then drizzle with olive oil. Mix all those ingredients together making sure it is all tossed together.

The next part of the Baked Feta Salmon is to place the salmon filets right on top of the mixed tomatoes and olives. Place them skinside down and then sprinkle with a small amount of red pepper flakes. Drizzle each salmon filet with a little olive oil and then you are ready to bake.

Bake

With your oven at 400*, place the Baked Feta Salmon in the oven for about 20 minutes. Remember, your bake time will depend on the thickness of the salmon.

Again, if your salmon is quite thin you may want to start baking the tomato mixture for about 10 minutes and then add the thinner salmon and bake another 10 minutes.

At the end of the bake time check I like to turn the oven up to broil to get a nice browning on the vegetables and a slight crisp of the salmon.

Serve

When you pull the Baked Feta Salmon out of the oven sprinkle this entire dish with the fresh chopped basil. Serve a piece of filet with the tomato, feta and olive mixture spooned over top.

Storage

Place any leftover Baked Feta Salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Gently reheat in the microwave for 30-90 seconds or enjoy cold over a salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon filet 2-4 filets
  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup red onion sliced
  • 1 cup kalamata olives pitted
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasonings
  • 2 cloves garlic fine chop
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper optional
  • 1/4 cup basil fresh chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400*.
  • In a large casserole dish add cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, kalamata olives, italian seasonings, and garlic. Drizzle ¼ cup olive oil over the dish and toss all the ingredients together.
  • Place the salmon filets skin side down on top of the mixture in the casserole dish. Sprinkle each filet with the red pepper flakes. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper if you like as there is probably enough salt from the feta and kalamata olives that you might not want more salt. Drizzle each filet with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil.
  • Bake the dish in 400* oven for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon and your desired doneness of the fish. As a guideline it’s usually about 10 minutes of cook time per 1” thickness of the fish.
  • I also like to turn the oven to broil for 1-3 minutes at the end of cooking time to brown the vegetables and give the top of the fish a quick blast of direct heat.
  • Remove the casserole dish from the oven and stir the vegetables around the fish to mash and mix them together. Sprinkle the fresh chopped basil over the entire dish. Serve a piece of salmon with the mashed vegetables over the salmon and enjoy.

Notes

The nutrition calculations are tough on this dish because the size of the fish will vary. The salmon filets in the picture were quite large at about 8oz each.  You may serve 3-4 people this dish depending on how much fish each person has for their meal.
