How to Make Baked Salmon With Herbed Mayonnaise
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Stir well to combine.
- Season the mayonnaise mixture with a few dashes of seasoned salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
- Lightly grease a baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Place a 1.5-2 lb salmon fillet (skin on or off, your preference) in the prepared baking pan.
- Season the salmon lightly with seasoned salt and pepper.
- Generously spread the herbed mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet, to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is almost cooked through.
- Broil for 1-3 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the salmon is cooked to your liking. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
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.
