Description
This baked salmon is the easiest recipe you can make with fresh salmon. Served with a side salad and crispy potatoes, this makes the perfect lunch or dinner in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (0.9 kg) Salmon
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme (1/2 tsp dry)
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill
- 1 tsp Mustard paste
- 2 tsp Chilly paste (I used half sweet and half spicy)
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Olive oil
- 2 tsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Lemon juice
- ½ tsp Sweet paprika
Plus
- 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped for garnish)
- 1 Lemon sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp Dill (Chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Take the salmon out of the refrigerator onto a counter for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Cut it to size if necessary, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C/ Gas Mark 6.
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl - starting with garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper, thyme, dill, mustard paste, chilly paste, paprika, olive oil, brown sugar, and lemon juice.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Then, generously spray it with oil.
- Place the salmon on the baking tray and season with salt and black pepper on both sides. Then, pour the marinade and marinate on both sides as well.
- Fold the foil close to the salmon so the juices do not burn easily in the baking tray. Place the lemon slices and sprinkle more chopped dill (or parsley) on top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. The recommended internal temperature for cooking salmon is - medium 145 F to 147 F or 60 to 63°C.But it can also be served at medium-rare, 122 to 127°F or 50 to 53 °C (this is how I served my salmon).
- When you remove it from the oven, let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. I like to flip the lemon slices over, put the chared sides down, and garnish with more fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
- Enjoy!
