A light and refreshing baked salmon with a creamy, tangy avocado-feta topping. Perfectly baked salmon topped with a delicious avocado, feta, and herb mixture.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (without skin)

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tsp fresh dill, chopped

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Paprika, to taste

1 large avocado, diced

⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped

1 Tbsp fresh chives, sliced

½ of a lemon, juiced

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  4. Brush the salmon fillets with the lemon-dill mixture, ensuring they are coated evenly.
  5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the salmon is baking, prepare the avocado-feta topping. In a small bowl, gently mix the diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, sliced chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven and top each fillet with the avocado-feta mixture.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the avocado-feta topping.

Feel free to swap feta with goat cheese for a milder taste.

This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made without lemon if preferred.

If you prefer a creamier topping, mash the avocado slightly before mixing.

Grilling the salmon is also an option for a different flavor profile.
