This easy oven baked Salmon is one of my first recipes. My family loves salmon, which is great because it’s as healthy as it is delicious. We eat salmon for dinner at least once a week. I have prepared salmon in many ways, but this easy baked Salmon recipe is great for beginners.
Salmon may lower blood pressure, protect against heart disease, lower inflammation, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, protect fetal brain health in pregnancy, and decrease the risk of age-related memory problems.
Easy Baked Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
- 2-4 Salmon fillets or 2 lbs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Minced garlic or garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian Herb Seasoning or Chopped Fresh Parsley
- Juice from 1/2 a Lemon optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 Degrees F
- Dab salmon with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick pan
- Season the salmon with salt, pepper, garlic, and parsley.
- Bake the salmon in a preheated oven for about 22-25 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the salmon is cooked through. The center should no longer be translucent.
- When the salmon is finished cooking, add lemon juice (optional). Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For this recipe I baked the salmon with sliced yellow squash. I drizzled olive oil over the top of the squash and seasoned it with Italian herb seasoning and ground black pepper.
