Main Ingredients
  • 1.5–2 lbs salmon fillet (skin-on or skinless) Choose high-quality fish.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Plus extra from sun-dried tomato jar for flavor.
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped Use high-quality for extra flavor.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Can substitute goat cheese or mozzarella.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or shallow baking dish with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place it skin-side down (if using skin-on) on the prepared pan. Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Toss the thinly sliced red onion and fresh spinach with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a light pinch of salt to soften the spinach slightly.
  4. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes if needed.
Cooking
  1. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salmon and sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper across the fillet.
  2. Spread the onion and spinach mixture over the salmon. Scatter chopped sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled feta on top.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  4. Optional: switch to broil for 1–2 minutes to brown the feta and tomatoes.
  5. Remove from the oven, let rest for 2–3 minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
