  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 8 oz cooked salmon
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Seasoning blend (such as Za’atar) to taste

Pasta

  • 1 pound cooked pasta

Sauce & Vegetables

  • 1 block feta cheese (approximately 8 oz)
  • 1 (10 oz) container cherry tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, and optional herbs)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Salmon: Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasoning blend such as Za’atar. Place salmon on a baking pan and bake at 400°F for 25 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare Sauce and Tomatoes: In a baking dish, place the cherry tomatoes and add the block of feta cheese. Sprinkle minced garlic along with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer. Drizzle olive oil generously over the ingredients.
  3. Bake Sauce & Pasta Together: Bake the feta and tomatoes mixture at 400°F for 25 minutes, ideally using two small pans simultaneously so you can bake the sauce and salmon at the same time. This allows the flavors to develop fully.
  4. Mash and Mix Sauce: Remove the dish from the oven and mash the softened tomatoes with a fork or potato masher. Stir together the melted feta and tomatoes until you achieve a smooth, uniform sauce consistency.
  5. Combine Pasta and Salmon: Add the cooked pasta to the baked sauce and mix well to coat evenly. Break the baked salmon into pieces and fold gently into the pasta and cheese sauce mixture.
  6. Serve: Serve the baked feta pasta with salmon warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For more nutrition and texture, mix in additional veggies like broccoli, zucchini, or spinach when baking the sauce.
  • If fresh cherry tomatoes are unavailable, diced canned tomatoes can be used as an alternative.
  • In place of a block of feta, crumbled feta cheese can be used, though a block yields a creamier sauce.
