Ingredients for Baked Salmon1.5 lbs salmon (this was wild sockeye salmon)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 large OR 3 small cloves of garlic, pressed
1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard (grey poupon)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup mild olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon slices (mostly for effect
How to Make the Best Baked Salmon:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
1. Line a rimmed baking dish with foil. I didn’t line the dish and I regretted it; I scrubbed fiercely for a day and a half.
2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley, 2-3 cloves pressed garlic, 1.5 tsp dijon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 1/8 cup olive oil and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Mix well. Smell it; it’s amazing!
3. Cut salmon into even portions: I made 4 generous cuts of salmon. Lay them onto your lined baking dish skin side down.
4. Generously brush all sides of your salmon with the marinade and top with fresh lemon slices.
5. Bake at 450 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until just cooked through. Don’t over-cook or your fish will be dry. Voila! Easy, excellent dish.
