Servings
Ingredients
- 1 salmon fillet
- 7 1/10 oz cherry tomatoes
- 3 1/2 oz feta cheese
- 1 garlic bulb
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 11 oz pasta (such as penne or fusilli)
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (355°F).
- 2Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- 3While the pasta cooks, place the skinless salmon fillet, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and the whole garlic bulb (top cut off) into a single‑layer baking dish.
- 4Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and the teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves.
- 5Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes have softened.
- 6Remove the baking dish from the oven. Using a fork, mash the salmon, tomatoes, feta, and roasted garlic together until a creamy, slightly chunky sauce forms.
- 7Return the dish to the stovetop over low heat; add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat.
- 8If the sauce seems thick, gradually add reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until a smooth, glossy consistency is achieved.
- 9Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- 10Serve the creamy salmon‑feta pasta immediately, garnished with a few extra thyme leaves or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
