How to Make Baked Salmon Topped With Roasted Garlic And Savory Mayo

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roast garlic: Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 20 minutes until soft.
  3. While garlic roasts, prepare the mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare the salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Top each salmon fillet with a generous spoonful of the garlic-herb mayonnaise.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and top the cooked salmon with the roasted garlic.
  8. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and serve immediately.
