Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 avocado
- 100g feta cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt
- Pepper
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Crank the oven to a precise 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for perfectly cooked salmon.
- Arrange two 6-ounce salmon fillets on a clean baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space between them.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and squeeze 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice directly over the salmon fillets.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper evenly across the surface of your salmon.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake exactly 15-20 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- While salmon roasts, dice your entire ripe avocado into small ¼-inch cubes in a separate mixing bowl.
- Crumble 100g of feta cheese into the same bowl with the avocado, gently folding them together without mashing.
- Remove salmon from oven and immediately top each fillet with the fresh avocado-feta mixture.
- Chop a handful of fresh parsley and scatter it over the salmon for a bright, herbal finish.
Notes
- Check salmon’s doneness by gently pressing the thickest part, which should flake easily and look opaque.
- Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and healthiest omega-3 content.
- For a gluten-free and low-carb option, this recipe naturally fits those dietary needs without modifications.
- Swap feta with dairy-free alternatives like nutritional yeast or vegan cheese crumbles if avoiding dairy.
