Baked Salmon with Feta and Tomato Sauce<\/strong>\u00a0is one of those wonderfully easy dinners that delivers far more flavour than the effort involved. A whole salmon fillet is baked under a juicy fresh tomato sauce with salty feta, garlic, shallots, chilli and loads of fresh herbs. It\u2019s fresh, colourful, a little bit Greek-inspired and exactly the kind of dinner I want on repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best part? It\u2019s on the table in around 35 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tomatoes become soft and saucy, the feta turns warm and creamy around the edges, and underneath it all you have tender, succulent salmon. Serve this oven-baked salmon with ribbon pasta and let those tomato-feta juices mingle with the noodles, or keep things lighter with steamed vegetables or a crisp salad. Crusty bread for scooping up the sauce is also a great choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You\u2019ll Need for Baked Salmon with Feta & Tomatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of this Greek-inspired salmon with tomatoes and feta is its simplicity. A handful of Mediterranean ingredients, one gorgeous piece of salmon and plenty of fresh flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Salmon:<\/strong>\u00a0I use one whole skinless salmon fillet. It stays beautifully succulent in the oven and can be brought straight to the table in the baking dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fresh tomatoes:<\/strong>\u00a0These cook down into a rustic, juicy sauce. The riper and more flavourful your tomatoes, the better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Feta:<\/strong>\u00a0Salty, tangy and creamy once warmed. Greek feta is a great choice here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Shallots and garlic:<\/strong>\u00a0The flavour base. Shallots bring a subtle sweetness that works especially well with the tomatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fresh dill and parsley:<\/strong>\u00a0Be generous! The herbs are what give this tomato-feta sauce its bright, fresh character.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Chilli flakes:<\/strong>\u00a0Just enough to add a little warmth without taking over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Olive oil:<\/strong>\u00a0For saut\u00e9ing the shallots and lightly greasing the baking dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Dry white wine:<\/strong>\u00a0Completely optional<\/strong>, but a splash adds brightness and extra depth to the tomato sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Salt and pepper:<\/strong>\u00a0Season as you go, but remember that feta already brings plenty of saltiness to the party.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    How to Make Greek Salmon with Tomatoes and Feta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This baked salmon with tomato and feta sauce is wonderfully unfussy. Get the oven heating while you make the sauce, assemble everything in a baking dish and let the oven take it from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Make th<\/strong>e tomato sauce.<\/strong>\u00a0Soften the shallots in olive oil, then add garlic and a pinch of chilli. Splash in a little white wine if you\u2019re using it, add the fresh tomatoes and let them cook until juicy and saucy. Fresh dill and parsley go in at the end to keep their flavour bright.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Pile it all onto the salmon.<\/strong>\u00a0Set the whole salmon fillet into a lightly greased baking dish, season it, then spoon the warm tomato-herb mixture generously over and around the fish. Scatter feta over the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Bake until just tender.<\/strong>\u00a0Pop the whole thing into the oven until the salmon is succulent and just cooked through and the feta has softened into the warm, tomatoey juices. That\u2019s it. Bring the baking dish to the table and dig in!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
