I created this feta-crusted salmon when my family asked me to come up with a new salmon dish. I used what I had on hand, and they loved it! It's pretty rich in flavor but not so high in fat, depending on what kind of ingredients you use.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 (2 pound) salmon fillet, bones removed
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ⅓ cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon light cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ⅓ cup panko (japanese bread crumbs) or regular dry bread crumbs
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with a light coating of cooking spray, and place salmon on top.
- Mix feta, mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon, onion powder, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a bowl until smooth. Spread mixture over salmon, then sprinkle bread crumbs over top, covering completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 35 to 45 minutes.
