Goodbye, boring salmon, hello sheet pan garlic herb goat cheese stuffed salmon and veggies. I am a seafood lover. I absolutely love salmon, but like any meat or dish, eating the same thing time and time again can get dull.
I have to switch it up! A lot of my recipes as of late, have included Parmigannio Reggiano cheese because I am pretty obsessed. I needed to switch up that, too. I love goat cheese.
There probably isn’t a single flavor of cheese I do not like. I love them all. I hadn’t had a salmon and goat cheese pairing, so here we are. Experiment gone well!

Using an auto cheese grater saves me so much time.
Salmon is high in omega 3s and protein. In this recipe, one serving provides 37 grams of protein. Omega 3s are fatty acids that have many health benefits and contribute to why salmon is high in “good fats.”
According to the Harvard Medical School Health Publications, omega 3s ease inflammation, ensure the heart maintains a steady beat, prevent the formation of dangerous clots in the bloodstream, and lower levels of triglycerides, the most common type of fat-carrying particle in the bloodstream.
Studies have shown that the more fish you eat, the lower your risk of coronary artery disease and dying of heart disease.
These and other data are behind the recommendation both in federal dietary guidelines and from the American Heart Association (AHA) to eat two servings of fatty fish per week. Dietary surveys suggest that Americans get less than half that amount.
Nutrition experts believe that one reason fish-eaters have fewer heart attacks may stem from the fact that they’re eating fish in place of red meat or processed meats like sausage, bacon, or ham, which contain more saturated fat (and in the processed meats, a lot of salt).
Both substances are linked to a higher risk of heart disease. I have a couple of pescatarian friends. Although I could never give up red meat completely (I love a nice, juicy steak!), this information does make me want to examine my consumption.
I only buy lean red meat. However, I may make some additional dietary adjustments in the future.
Hi meal prep! Just looking at the spread has me excited for the upcoming week.

So good, as always :-P I made this tonight for dinner and it was so flavorful, the goat cheese gives the salmon such a nice tangy taste! I did mashed potatoes and your air fried green beans with it instead, and it was a nice comforting meal on a snowy night. Thank you Brandi!

Looking for a salmon brunch recipe it says to cool. Would I be able to put it on a brunch buffet?

I LOVE this recipe!! This was the first Stay Snatched recipe that I made and it did not disappoint! I have made it 3 times in one week already. The creamy sauce is hands down my favorite and a definitely a great twist. Highly recommend!

This is SO delicious. Made this for a Sunday night dinner and it was so, so easy too. Love the blend of goat cheese with the spices and the salmon. Definitely adding this to our monthly rotation. (We made it with roasted Brussels sprouts if you're looking for a different veggie inspiration/sub.) Thanks for the great recipe!
