Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz (170 g) each
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Season the salmon: Pat the salmon dry and place the fillets skin-side down in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and Italian seasoning.
3. Add the toppings: Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the salmon. Top generously with crumbled feta.
4. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches about 145°F (63°C) internally.
5. Finish: Remove from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with lemon zest, parsley, and basil.
6. Serve: Serve immediately with lemon wedges and spoon some of the flavorful juices and sun-dried tomatoes over each fillet.
