Herb-and-Feta Salmon

A Mediterranean dinner built around salmon fillets and feta — on the table in 25 minutes. The macros do the talking: 38g protein, 5g carbs, and 32g fat in every 460-calorie serving. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Salmon fillets
• 3/4 cup Feta
• 3 tbsp Dill
• 2 tbsp Parsley
• 1 Lemon zest
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment.
2. Mash the feta with the chopped dill, parsley, lemon zest, Dijon, olive oil, and minced garlic into a chunky, spreadable crust.
3. Pat the salmon dry, season with salt and pepper, and pack the feta crust thickly onto the top of each fillet.
4. Roast 12 to 14 minutes, until the crust is golden and the salmon flakes but is still rosy in the center.
5. Broil 1 to 2 minutes at the very end for extra browning — watch it like a hawk, since feta goes from golden to scorched fast.
6. Squeeze lemon over the top and rest 3 minutes before serving.
