Equipment

  2. Place salmon fillets on sheet. Brush with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon flakes easily with fork.
  4. Meanwhile, combine avocado, feta, onion, parsley, olive oil, and chili flakes in a bowl.
  5. Remove salmon from oven and spoon avocado-feta topping over fillets.

Notes

Best served fresh, as avocado topping may brown if stored too long. For meal prep, keep topping separate until serving.
