How to Bake Salmon

1 1/2-2 lbs. Salmon fillet

salt and black pepper

butter (, melted)

garlic (, minced)

chicken broth (,

lemon juice

honey

parsley and lemon slices (, for garnish, optional)

cajun seasoning ((I love McCormic Cajun Seasoning))

olive oil

butter (melted)

lemon zest

dried dill ((or 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped))

Allow salmon to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat gently with a paper towel.

In the meantime,  prep seasonings.For Garlic butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth and lemon juice. Cook for 3-5 more minutes to reduce the sauce. Stir in honey. Dill: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.Cajun seasoning: have ingredients ready.  When ready to bake, spread olive oil over filet with a brush and top with desired amount of cajun seasoning.

Place salmon, skin side down, on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and add desired type of seasoning or sauce.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes depending on thickness of salmon.   Check for doneness with a thermometer, (aim for no more than 140 degrees F as the salmon will continue to cook a little after removing it from the oven) or use a fork to gently pull back on a section in the thickest part of the filet.  The salmon should flake away easily and look opaque.

Sheet Pan Salmon:

Tear off a large piece of tinfoil (enough to fold over the filet and seal).  Place salmon, skin side down on lightly greased tinfoil. Season with salt and pepper.

Lift up all four sides of the tinfoil, creating a pocket and cover/top salmon with desired seasonings.

Wrap salmon tightly in tinfoil by folding the sides of the tinfoil creating a tight seal.

One Pan Baked Salmon and Vegetables

salmon fillets

green beans (, trimmed)

Tablespoons olive oil (, divided)

salt and black pepper (, to taste)

Lemon slices (, for garnish, optional)

Tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (, chopped)

garlic (, pressed)

dijon mustard

sea salt

black pepper

Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line rimmed baking sheet with silpat or foil.

Add potatoes to a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast in the oven for 12 minutes.

Add the green beans to the same bowl the potatoes where in. Drizzle them with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.

Make the sauce for the salmon by combining all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

When the timer for the potatoes rings, remove them from the oven and push them over to one end of the baking sheet.

Slice salmon into 4 portions/filets and place them, skin side down, in the center of the baking sheet, next to the potatoes.

Spoon the sauce generously over the salmon and top with lemon slices, if desired.

Spread green beans out along the end of the baking sheet.

Bake at 450°F for 12-15 min or until the salmon is no longer translucent, but still moist in center (just cooked through and flaky). Don't over-cook.
