How to Make Baked Salmon With Herbed Mayonnaise

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Stir well to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. Lightly grease a baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
  6. Place a 1.5-2 lb salmon fillet (skin on or off, your preference) in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Season the salmon lightly with seasoned salt and pepper.
  8. Generously spread the herbed mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet, to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  9. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is almost cooked through.
  10. 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).
