Creamy baked feta melts into sweet roasted tomatoes and tender salmon, then gets tossed with pasta, fresh dill, and bright lemon for a simple, flavor-packed dinner that feels both cozy and fresh.

INGREDIENTS

250 g salmon fillet
250 g cherry tomatoes
80 g feta cheese
200 g pasta
8 garlic cloves peeled
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cream cheese
Juice of ½ lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
pasta water

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

Assemble the dish by placing the cherry tomatoes, feta, garlic cloves, and salmon in a baking dish, then drizzle with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning and black pepper.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, drain, and reserve a small splash of pasta water.

Create the sauce by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the baked ingredients, adding lemon zest and cream cheese, and mashing the tomatoes, feta, garlic, and cream cheese into a creamy mixture while keeping the salmon mostly intact.

Combine and finish by adding the cooked pasta and fresh chopped dill to the baking dish, gently flaking the salmon, and folding everything together, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed for a silky texture.

  2. What are your thoughts on using canned sockeye salmon for this recipe? I have so many cans of it and I'm always on the lookout for recipes used with it.
