Description
A flavorful baked salmon recipe topped with a creamy avocado and feta mixture, perfect for a healthy dinner.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (skinless)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Paprika, to taste
1 large avocado, diced
⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, sliced
Juice of half a lemon
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the avocado-feta topping by combining the diced avocado, crumbled feta, chopped dill, and sliced chives in a small bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed, then cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salmon.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped dill. Brush this mixture evenly over each salmon fillet. Season each fillet with salt, black pepper, and paprika according to your preference.
Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the salmon immediately, topped generously with the avocado-feta mixture.
