I often make this very moist and flavorful oven-baked salmon for company because I can have it ready in less than half an hour. This baked salmon with lemon is well complemented by rice or a green vegetable and a tossed salad. —Emily Chaney, Penobscot, Maine

This was super easy. I didn't have wine or chicken broth so I skipped it and they still were so good! Easy for a weeknight meal, we are trying to add more fish to our diet this will definitely help us with that!!! Made it for my cousin as well and she loved it. Goes great over a bed of lettuce.

This was awesome!!! I LOVED it. Made exactly as recipe states. Great recipe!!

I think this is the best method for preparing salmon.  You can always alter the liquid and spices, depending on your hankaring is that day. ????. Thank you for sharing!!

I made this for dinner tonight(5/MAR/14) and OMG....this was a dinner to die for!!!   excellent taste, looked great coming out of the oven, was super easy prep time...this is a dinner I will make again soon. I love it!...but more importantly, my wife loved it.   8-D

It came out so moist and it is so easy, loved this recipe.

I made this for an easy and quick healthy meal. Based on reviews about being bland, I used Cajun seasonings on half of one fillet, and lemon pepper on the other half. The second fillet was made according to the recipe. I used chicken broth because I was without wine. My fish was done perfectly after 15 minutes at 425. All 3 versions were good, but Cajun seasoning was declared the favorite. Use this recipe for the method and personalize it with your favorite seasoning. This recipe is a keeper.Lynne  TOH Volunteer Food Editor

Just made this salmon for dinner. First time I have prepared salmon. .it's delicious! The recipe was very easy to prepare and the salmon was ready in no time. I'll definitely make this again!Used white wine, husband loved it, served with broccoli and baked potato

tried it with chicken stock was great will do it this way often am going to try it with other types of fish keep you apprised

This recipe was wonderful!  I used dill instead of tarragon and Pinot Grigio for the wine.  This will definitely be on my "favorites" list of recipes!

I cooked my super thick fillets for 23 minutes and enjoyed two of the most moist, melt-in-your mouth pieces of salmon I've ever prepared (or eaten!) in my life. Just keep an eye on your oven to prevent over-cooking. I can't believe how delish they turned out! Will definitely be making this recipe again very soon :)

Used lemon pepper, so moist and delicious. Also tried sliced raw onions and lemon on the side w tarter sauce. Was delicious too.

I agree with some of the reviewers below--as written, the dish was a tad bland.  To make it more to our liking, I added BOTH the chicken broth and white wine so the sauce would cover the fish as it cooks in order to add more flavor.  I used 1/2 cup of each the wine and broth.  I always season fish with lemon pepper before it gets another layer of seasoning, crumbs, etc.  I have served it with Taste of Home "Lemon LInguine" and it made a nice pairing.

Hello! Thanks for this good recipe. I'll try to cook it. I want to introduce one of my favorite fish recipe too - baked salmon. I really love this dish, baked slmon so easy and tasty food.  I love  to add a lot of spice and eat salmon with rice.

I cook salmon in the oven, place on a sheet of foil sprayed with non stick cooking spray, add alittle lemon jiuce on top sprinkle with salt and pepper, add slices of butter on top and sprinkle with alittle garlic powder. bake in oven at 350 for about 30 minutes. it is done when it is flaky. I made this recipe from this site: http://salmonrecipes.org/oven-baked-salmon-recipe/ before visiting your site and this time my family surprised me that how amazing oven baked salmon is.

Delicious! I didn't have the tarragon so I substituted with 1/4 tsp. Rosemary and 1/4 tsp. oregano.

Easy to prepare. Always comes out moist and flaky!

I have made this at least twice per month. I use 1/2 tsp lemon pepper instead of lemon juice when I don't have lemons or lemon juice on hand. It's delicious!

This is my new favorite way to make salmon. Usually I sautee with garlic & lemon, but this came out really moist and the tarragon definitely added a delightful dimension without being overpowering. I usually serve my 5 yr old with some mayo on the side. He decided to try it without and said it was better without it. I was astonished. I didn't have a full two pounds but I still used the entire liquid.I think that's what made it so moist. It turned out perfect. Sadly it was better than most restaurant salmon. Why go out when it's usually served dry?

Such a good recipe I like other reviewers put lemons on top for flavor and a nice finishing touch my 3 kids also enjoyed this recipe.

Very disappointing, bland and unappealing.

We love the taste and simplicity. It's a great alternative to grilling.

This was wonderful!  My son who HATES fish said it was pretty good.  He had two or three helpings so that is saying a lot!  Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was very bland.  If I ever make it again, I'd have to add a lot more seasoning.  I used chicken broth & olive oil instead of butter.
