Do you guys ever get tired of me bloggingabouthow easy my recipes are? I feel like that’s the first thing I say on every post….well here I go again! This recipe is soooo easy! No, really it is! Plus- I love that this salmon is baked-perfect for any season.

It’s Feta,a few freshherbs, lemon and salmon. That’s it. Comes together in about 3 minutes and bakes up quickly on parchment or foil, no mess! Who’s your buddy? Who’s your pal in the kitchen? Meeee!

No special equipment needed (because you know I am lazy and hate to clean up all those kitchen accessories). Myknife works great. Chop up the Feta, herbs, squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt.Spread on a salmon fillet. Place in oven.Sipa glass of Chardy and boom! Gourmet meal, family is cheering, husband is kissing all over ya and life is lovely.

I always have Feta in the fridge. I buy the big containers at Costco and use it on everything. Ihavebeen dieting since I was a young chub and love, love, love cheese. Feta gives me the biggest bang for my cheesy calorie and ads a ton of flavor.

Hoping you love this easy recipe!

Clink!

I have frozen salmon filets that are deboned, but still have the skin on them. . Can they be used with this recipe? If so, how would I adjust the cooking time or should I thaw them first? Sorry, very inexperienced cook here.

  Hi JC – thaw the salmon first and you can leave the skin on. After it’s baked simple use a spatula to lift the cooked salmon off the skin…it will come off very easily. Happy to help new home chefs anytime! Kathi

  Sorry, just saw in the recipe to thaw if the salmon is frozen, but wondering about how long that would take roughly if anyone knows. Thanks!

    How long to thaw? Put it on a metal baking sheet and it will thaw faster. Probably take 90 minutes or so depending on thickness. Store in fridge till ready to use once thawed.

This is a fabulous and easy recipe! I have been making this for a few years now and I can honestly say that it is my family’s favourite way to have salmon. I’ve even managed to get the thumbs up from anti-salmon friends!
