A delicious use of some of my favorite things - bacon and salmon! The salmon stays really moist from the bacon, and the skin helps protect the bottom from cooking prematurely.

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
salt and pepper to taste
½ pound bacon, cut in half

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet liberally with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets onto the baking sheet skin-side-down. Sprinkle the fillets with garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Lay the bacon strips over the fillets to cover completely. Do not overlap the bacon strips.
Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is no longer translucent in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven on to broil and cook until the bacon has crisped, 1 to 2 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 Salmon Fillets (approximately 3oz each)
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
4 Bacon Strips (uncooked)
2 teaspoons Maple Syrup ((optional))

Steps:

Start by seasoning your salmon with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Next take bacon and wrap around the salmon fillets. I did 2 pieces of bacon per piece of salmon. Depending on how large or small your salmon fillets are the bacon can be adjusted.
In a skillet on medium-high heat you will pan sear your bacon salmon for 2-3 minutes. Then flip the fillet over and cook the other side.
Preheat the oven and once the bacon is done searing cook in the oven broiling on high for 3-4 minutes or until the salmon reaches 145 degrees F.
Now, you can flip the bacon salmon over half way through cooking in the oven. That will ensure a more even cook on the bacon.
Once the bacon wrapped salmon is done, you can remove from the oven and brush with the maple syrup if you want. It will add a nice sweetness to the salmon.

Tips:

Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, fishy smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy smell.
Use high-quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will wrap around the salmon better and provide more flavor. Avoid bacon that is too thin or has a lot of fat.
Season the salmon before wrapping it in bacon. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish. You can use a simple seasoning of salt and pepper, or you can get creative and use your favorite herbs and spices.
Wrap the salmon tightly in bacon. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful. Overlapping the bacon slightly will also help to prevent it from unraveling.
Cook the salmon until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can cook the salmon in a skillet, in the oven, or on the grill.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped salmon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home.
