Ingredients for Baked Herbed Salmon

  • Salmon Fillets
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Dried Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Butter
  • Tomatoes

How to Make Baked Herbed Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Pour a small amount of the herb mixture (about 1/4 cup) into the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  5. Pour the remaining herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
