How to Make Baked Salmon With Herb Sauce
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut salmon fillet into 4 equal-sized serving pieces (approximately 4-6 ounces each).
- Place salmon pieces in a baking dish, skin-side down if applicable, leaving some space between each piece.
- Dot the top of each salmon fillet with 1 teaspoon of butter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill.
- Spread the herb mayonnaise mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
- Garnish with lemon wedges before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
