Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).

  2. While the oven heats, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.

  3. Place the salmon fillet, feta cheese (crumbled), cherry tomatoes (halved if large), minced garlic, olive oil, and Italian herbs into a single baking dish; season with salt and pepper.

  4. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the ingredients to ensure even cooking.

  5. Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The salmon flakes easily and is opaque throughout.

  6. During the last 10 minutes of baking, cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente; reserve ½ cup of pasta cooking water.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The pasta is al dente; reserve the cooking water before draining.

  7. Remove the baking dish from the oven; using two forks, gently break the salmon into large flakes and stir the feta so it begins to melt, creating a creamy sauce.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The feta begins to soften into the salmon and tomato juices.

  8. Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish, pour in a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems thick, and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The sauce clings to the pasta; loosen with pasta water as needed.

  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

  10. Serve the creamy salmon pasta immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of extra Italian herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
