Ingredients

For the salmon

  • 4 filets salmon 4-6 oz each
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • teaspoon tsp black pepper

For the filling

  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbles or pieces
  • ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves miced
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

  • Prepare the salmon. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Slice a “pocket” into one of the sides of each salmon. It’s best to use the thicker side and only cut about ¾ of the way through the salmon filet. Place each filet on a lined baking sheet, skin side down. Sprinkle the sea salt, paprika, and black pepper over each filet and gently rub into the skin. Set the pan aside.
    4 filets salmon, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, ⅛ teaspoon tsp black pepper
  • Make the filling. In a separate bowl add the feta crumbles, sun dried tomatoes, parsley, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
    ½ cup feta cheese, ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoon parsley, ½ tablespoon olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, 1 lemon
  • Stuff the salmon. Use a spoon to scoop about 2 tablespoon of the filling into the pocket of each salmon filet.
  • Cook. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10 - 14 minutes, depending on thickness of the salmon, until the salmon is opaque pink all over. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Storage : Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy, heat the salmon in a skillet over medium heat. Or, warm in the microwave in 10-second intervals until warm, and enjoy.
