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.

You can't beat all of those health benefits! The combo of salmon and goat cheese sounds so incredible!
Jasmin | The Happiness Kitchen says
Wow! This is such a great meal prep dish. I would have never thought to spread goat cheese on salmon. I must say it looks incredibly tasty.
staysnatched says
The idea came to me randomly because of a sale at my local grocer. I noticed "honey goat cheese" and thought that would be perfect to try out on toast for breakfast. The goat cheese was buy one, get one free, so I grabbed the garlic herb as well. I happened to have salmon on hand, and VOILA. Totally random and worked out perfectly.
Jennie Durren says
I LOVE salmon, and I love goat cheese, but I never thought to put them together (except smoked salmon at brunch). This is genius. I've got one salmon filet left... might have to try making this for just me one night 😉
debi at Life Currents says
What a fabulous recipe. Last summer I got really into salmon - we were lucky to have fresh PNW salmon all the time. And now I'm always on the lookout for new ways to try it. I love this idea. Goat cheese is good for a friend of mine too - he can't have cow's dairy. I wonder if this will work on the grill as well.
staysnatched says
It will definitely work on the grill! I actually cut the slits in the salmon before putting it on the grill. I made a stuffed, grilled recipe a while back. I then stuff (carefully) after grilling and place in the oven for just a few minutes. Don't want to over-cook! You could also skip cutting into the salmon and use the goat cheese mixture as a topping.

Love this recipe! I'm gonna have to try this.
Annemarie @ justalittlebitofbacona says
I've been all about sheet pan dinners lately and I love the combo of salmon and goat cheese! That sounds so tasty.
Diana says
Goat cheese with salmon sounds like an interesting combination, I will have to try this as I'm a big fan of salmon in general.
Luci's Morsels says

I love sheet pan meals! This one sounds so delicious! We're big salmon fans in my home.
EKS says
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!
staysnatched says
Yum! That sounds so good!
Abbie says
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!
staysnatched says
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Amanda G. says
So good, as always 😛 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!
staysnatched says
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Looking for a salmon brunch recipe it says to cool. Would I be able to put it on a brunch buffet?
staysnatched says
I would assume so.
Jacqueline says
I’m sure most sleep on this recipe since it’s an older one. But man Oh man, this one is fire! I ate 2 servings and stoped my self from a third. The salmon goat cheese combo is amazing! Mouth watering good.
staysnatched says
Thanks for trying it! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Maria says
I’m confused. The confusion is you are calling it “stuffed” salmon but I see it spread on top?? Is it both? I’m trying the recipe tonight for dinner. 😊🙃
Thanks so much
