Feta-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Root Veggies (45g Protein)

Published: 8/17/2026

A winter favorite that combines the saltiness of feta with the sweetness of Nordic root vegetables. The feta forms a protective crust that keeps the salmon succulent.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 1.5 lbs (680 g) salmon fillet
• 4 oz (115 g) feta, crumbled
• 1 lb (450 g) mixed carrots and parsnips, cubed
• 1 tbsp (~3 g) dried dill
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the vegetables in the olive oil and roast for 15 minutes.
2. Press the crumbled feta and dried dill onto the salmon.
3. Place the salmon on the sheet pan with the vegetables and roast for another 12 minutes.

Pro Tips

• Cut Even Cubes: Uniformity is key — cut the root vegetables into 1-inch cubes so they roast evenly alongside the fish.
