Feta & Herb Crusted Salmon

Feta & Herb Crusted Salmon

Food Wiki
We understand that cooking salmon can be a bit daunting. However, trust us when we say that it's all about finding the cooking method that suits you best. One of our favorite approaches involves covering a whole fish, rather than individual fillets, with delightful toppings to infuse flavor—all on a single sheet pan. In this Mediterranean-inspired version, you simply place your salmon on a lined sheet tray (using aluminum foil for effortless cleanup), sprinkle on the toppings, and bake it for 25 minutes. No flipping, no sticking, and no mess!
To ensure the feta topping adheres perfectly to the salmon, we recommend using a smear of mayonnaise. It creates a delectable briny and herb-infused crust that complements each bite of the tender fish. If you're not a fan of mayo, you can consider skipping it or opting for a lighter alternative like Dijonnaise. However, be aware that omitting or substituting the mayo may cause the topping to become less adherent when you cut into the fish.
