Delicious Feta-Crusted Salmon

SUBMITTED BY: familyfoodie1      PHOTO BY: PURSEONALITY

"I first created this dish when my family suggested I try something other than the same tired (yet still yummy) Asian salmon dish. I whipped this up out of ingredients I had on hand. They thanked me profusely. Now I have a new dish to use. It's pretty rich in flavor, but not so high in fat (depending on what kind of ingredients you use). Enjoy!"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (2 pound) salmon fillet, bones removed
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon light cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs) or regular dry bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly oil. Place salmon onto foil and set aside.
  2. Mix together feta cheese, mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl until smooth. Spread mixture over salmon, then sprinkle panko over top, covering completely.

Mmmm- I absolutely loved this!! The feta was so good! I used sundried tomato and herb feta. I totally omitted the extra salt and it was perfect. I didn't want to open my block of cream cheese for just one tablespoon, so I used 2% fat Greek yogurt instead of the cream cheese. Unfortunately I am out of panko crumbs so I had to use regular. I only had to bake about 25 minutes- I think the time listed is too long. Watch it carefully, as you really don't want to overcook salmon. We had broccoli, steamed rice, and sliced avocado with this. Loved it!

This was great. I am not a fan of dijon or balsamic. Tasted great without it! Thanks for sharing. The bread crumb topping makes it extra special.

This was a very good recipe! I made it for my husbands birthday dinner and he fell in love. I didn't put as much salt in as it called for, since feta is so salty to begin with. I also didn't have balsamic vinegar, so I used red wine vinegar instead and it was still amazing. Double thumbs up for this one!!! Definitely a keeper!
