How to Make Autumn Cider Herbed Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a 9x13 inch glass baking dish, whisk together 1 cup apple cider, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs total) skin-side up in the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour for grilling).
  5. Flip the salmon fillets skin-side down. If desired, add 1 lb small red potatoes (halved), 1 cup sliced sweet potatoes, or 1 cup green beans to the baking dish.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baking time may increase if you've added vegetables.
  7. If grilling, discard the marinade and grill salmon for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
