Notes
Serve the baked salmon hot, garnished with lemon wedges. It pairs well with a light salad, steamed vegetables, or quinoa. Store cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving. Avoid over-stuffing the fillets and consider using fresh herbs for added flavor. You may also swap feta for goat cheese or ricotta, and add olives or sun-dried tomatoes for variations.
