["Preparation begins at least 4 hours prior - preferably the day before, though.", "In blender place basil,oregano,and garlic.", "Cover by 1/4 inch with olive oil and blend.", "Place feta cheese in mixing bowl and stir the oil/herb mixture bit by bit until the feta takes on almost a ""pasty"" consistency. If more olive oil is needed then add it straight. If you have left over mixture - it makes a great base for salad dressing.", "Cover broiler pan with aluminum foil and place salmon on pan (preferably skinless - but if it has skin place skin side down)", "Spread feta mixture over the whole surface filet so that it is at least 1/4 inch ""deep"".", "Cover with plastic wrap and leave for at least four hours - if not over night.", "Remove plastic and place broiler pan on grill having followed instructions on smoking pellets - or you may place on smoker if you have one.", "Cook until the cheese takes on a golden brown and bubbly appearance."]
