    • Mediterranean Crusted Salmon

    I have a tradition that on every trip, I must buy a cookbook of the traditional foods of each country. 

    I think that it would be a good idea to write a post listing those books, let me know what you think in the comments.

    Either way, I was taking a look at the one from Greece and started reviewing it and ended up sketching this recipe, baked feta-crusted salmon. Inspired by all the herbs and feta cheese used in the Greek dishes.

    Because of reviewing the book, I enjoyed a Greek-inspired recipe week: homemade tzatziki sauce, a Greek pasta salad, and this Mediterranean-crusted salmon.

    ⭐️ Why this recipe works

    • A quick and easy recipe for dinner or lunch.
    • Ready in 30 minutes.
    • Easy cleanup.

    📋 Ingredients for the recipe

    To make this crusted salmon, you would need a few ingredients. 

    To prepare this recipe, we would need the following ingredients:

    • salmon – you can use it with the skin or you can remove it, your choice.
    • feta cheese
    • dried oregano
    • dried dill
    • panko – you can replace it with regular breadcrumbs, but make sure they are the ones that has no seasoning.
    • garlic
    • olive oil
    • red onion

    Head up to the recipe card, for the complete measurement of each ingredient.

    📝 How to make the recipe? – Step by Step

    Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF, and now let’s continue the preparation.

    To prepare our feta crusted salmon will be julienne 1/4 of a small red onion. Season your salmon fillet with salt and black pepper, and place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

    For the crust, mix the feta cheese, oregano, dill, panko, garlic, and olive oil. The mixture of the olive oil and the panko will result in a crunchy crust.

    a bowl with the crust ingredients to be mixed.

    Now, press the crust mixture on top of the salmon fillet. Place the red onion on top of the crust. Next, bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes off easily.

    Once done, remove from the oven, and serve immediately. I recommend eating this one right away, so you just taste all those flavors and the crunchiness of the crust.

    As a result, a delicious and crunchy, Mediterranean crusted salmon. that you will want to make all the time. An easy and quick recipe to enjoy for lunch or dinner when you don’t have that much time to cook.

    ✅ Recipe Tips and FAQ

    Storing: You can store these in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. I recommend eating it once it’s done cooking, so you can taste the crunchiness of the crust.

    Reheat: If you have an air fryer you can pop it in for a couple of minutes.

    You can serve this salmon with:

    • roasted veggies
    • green salad
    • roasted potatoes
    • cauliflower rice or white rice if you prefer
    How do you tell if baked salmon is done?

    To tell if the baked salmon is done you must see a change in color from a translucent color to an opaque pinkish color. It also should flake off easily if you flake it with a fork or knife.

    Can you use frozen salmon?

    You can use frozen salmon, but you’ll need to fully thaw it before baking. Also, pat it dry to remove any remaining liquid.
