Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon Recipe 

Kosher salt

virgin olive oil

lemon, sliced into rounds

Parsley

lemons

garlic cloves, chopped

dry oregano

tsp sweet paprika

tsp black pepper

 Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika and black pepper. Give the sauce a good whisk.

Prepare a sheet pan lined with a large piece of foil (should be large enough to fold over salmon). Brush top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil.

Now, pat salmon dry and season well on both sides with kosher salt. Place it on the foiled sheetpan. Top with lemon garlic sauce (make sure to spread the sauce evenly.)

Fold foil over the salmon (seam-side up). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part (cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish. If your salmon is thinner, check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick, 1 1/2 or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)

Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon.  Place under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn’t overcook and the garlic does not burn.)

This is a a keeper.    I added a 2tsp of chilli flakes and an extra clove or two of garlic!     We loved it!   It's quick, easy and delicious!

I don’t care for salmon but I eat it because it’s good for me. This was hands down the best salmon I’ve ever had!  I love the spice blend in the marinade. I made it exactly as directed in the recipe. It was superb!

Crimp or pinch the top and bottom pieces of foil together; get it as air-tight as possible but it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon, if desired. Use your judgment and if there’s already lots of juice you don’t need to add it because you don’t want it to start leaking. If you have extra buttery mixture, it’s great served over the finished dish.

A fuss-free meal with pan-seared salmon and lemony orzo cooked together with spinach and Parmesan for a quick and easy dinner. A winner for busy nights— this all-in-one dish is sure to be loved by everyone at your table!

One Skillet Salmon with Lemon Orzo

salmon fillets

salt (divided)

tsp black pepper (divided)

garlic powder

olive oil

unsalted butter

yellow onion (finely chopped)

garlic

dry orzo pasta

thyme

chicken broth

baby spinach

juice from ½ lemon

Parmesan

black pepper (for servng)

chili flakes (for serving)

prepping

Get your prep done before you start cooking: Grate the Parmesan cheese, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with garlic powder, sweet paprika and ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.

searing

Heat oil and butter over medium high in a large nonstick pan or skillet. Add salmon fillets and sear, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and onion. Cook until soft and fragrant for about 2 minutes. Stir in thyme and the remaining salt and pepper. Add orzo and toast for 1 minute.

cooking

Pour in broth and bring to a boil. To maintain a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered while stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking, until almost al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes.

simmering

Add spinach, stir and simmer until wilted for about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and Parmesan. Add more broth, if needed. Taste and adjust salt.

finishing

Return salmon to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is heated through.

serving

Top with freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes. Enjoy!

Quite possibly the easiest way to cook salmon! No mess, no splatters on your stove, no fishy smell in your kitchen... it&#039;s incredible!

Steamed Salmon with Garlic, Herbs and Lemon

lbs salmon

yellow onion (thinly sliced)

garlic (thinly sliced)

parsley

dill

salt

black pepper

lemons (sliced as thin as possible)

dry white wine

shallot, roughly chopped

basil

red pepper flakes

red wine vinegar

kosher salt

full fat greek yogurt

Cut a 2 foot length of parchment paper and center it in a 10-inch heavy bottom skillet that has a lid (Le Creuset or something of the sort)

Put the fish, onion, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to combine. Transfer all of it to the lined skillet with the fish skin side down. Arrange the lemon sliced in a single layer over the fish and drizzle with the remaining olive oil and wine. Fold the paper over to cover the fish and crimp the edges together to seal. Cover the pan with the lid. Cook over medium high heat for 5 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE PAN. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes depending on if you want your fish medium to well done. Remove the pan from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Remove the lid, carefully open the paper and serve directly from the skillet so you can get all the juices at the bottom. Serve alongside a bowl of steamed white rice with mint

Blend everything together in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste

To make the Sauce

Love this salmon recipe! Thank you Gabby!  I made it 3 times already. Love the green yogurt sauce with it and its a must for the dish in my opinion. This recipe is super easy and the salmon tastes so light &amp; fresh. Not fishy at all. Highly recommend.

Best salmon I have ever made!! Highly recommend for taste and easy to cook and clean!

I think this has great potential but for me the onions didn’t cook enough; I think next time I would sautée them first; wondering if anyone else had this issue? I also see from the picture that I should have chopped the parsley more. I look forward to trying it again with some adjustments.

This recipe is so delicious! I didn't steam the salmon in the paper per instructions, but roasted it in a 425°F oven. I did make the sauce; by itself I wasn't a big fan but with the salmon it was incredible. I served it with roasted cherry tomatoes with mini sweet peppers.

Amazing! So easy &amp; delicious! The yogurt sauce definitely elevates this dish! Any suggestions what to use the extra sauce for?

Hi Gaby-this recipe is so good! I want to make it for a group  but I have one person that doesn’t like fish. I was wondering if you think I could do the same recipe with chicken…and cook it the same way? I thought I could do chicken/sauce for the non-salmon eater in a different pan. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

LOVE this recipe! Comes out perfect every time!! 

I want to make it, but I don't have any lemons on hand. Do you think I could omit, or would it be better to try adding a little bottled lime juice?

Boursin Garlic &#038; Herbs Salmon Bake with Lemon Sauce Recipe

salmon fillets, 6 oz each, skinless

lemon juice

Dijon mustard

Salt and ground black pepper,

chicken stock

(5 oz) pack Boursin Garlic & Herbs Cheese, room temperature

parsley (optional)

Lemon

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prepare for the salmon.

Prepare Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Place salmon in the baking dish and rub the marinade mixture over each fillet. Season generously with salt and ground black pepper.

Bake Salmon

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Make Sauce Base

While salmon is baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small pot over medium heat to prepare the sauce.

Add Chicken Stock and Boursin

Pour the chicken stock into the melted butter, then add the Boursin Garlic &amp; Herbs Cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese fully incorporates and the sauce is smooth. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Finish Sauce

Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

Serve

Once the salmon is done, drizzle the warm Boursin sauce evenly over the fillets in the baking dish, allowing it to mix with the natural pan juices.

Garnish and Present

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the sauced salmon, and serve with lemon slices on the side for an extra citrus touch.

Enjoy

Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and flavorful Boursin Salmon!
