How to Make Baked Salmon

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Grease a small casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches) or individual ramekins.
  4. Place the salmon fillets in the prepared dish.
  5. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the salmon.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped dill over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra dill, if desired.

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.
