Baked Sockeye Salmon

salmon

extra virgin olive oil

lemon (thinly sliced)

salt

black pepper (freshly ground)

parsley (or dill (chopped))

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Place the sockeye on a work surface. Rub the fish with olive oil on all sides. Then sprinkle salt and pepper on top.

Put the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and place 4 lemon slices on top.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until medium-rare. Check doneness by inserting a knife tip into the thickest section and twisting - the flesh should appear slightly translucent. You can also insert an instant-read thermometer and look for an internal temperature of 130°F (see note).

Remove from the oven. Remove the skin using a fish spatula if desired.

Sprinkle fresh herbs on top before serving.

This delicious, tender salmon recipe is incredibly simple to make and will be your new go-to way to cook sockeye salmon!
