Steps:
- Line baking sheet with foil or parchment. Arrange salmon skin-side-down, season with salt and pepper and drizzle the tops with oil. Bake uncovered at 425 for 10-15 min (depending on thickness of salmon) or until salmon is cooked through. My thick wild caught salmon took 14 min.
- In a small sauce pan, combine 1/4 cup finely diced onion, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup wine and simmer over medium heat until reduced to a thick mixture (7-8 min).
- Whisk in 1/2 cup cream and as soon as it comes to a simmer, reduce to low heat and slowly whisk in the 8 Tbsp butter, one tablespoon at a time (whisking constantly). Add 1/4 tsp salt or to taste and remove from heat. Cover with a lid to keep warm until ready to serve.
- Plate salmon and drizzle generously with the lemon sauce, garnish with freshly chopped parsley then serve.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND THYME
Baking salmon in a low-temperature oven slowly melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. Lemon and thyme, a classic Mediterranean combination, add another layer of flavor without sacrificing this dish's elegant simplicity.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. Mix remaining oil, thyme, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Spread thyme mixture over salmon fillets, dividing equally. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Bake salmon until just opaque in center, 15-18 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1-inch thick and has a vibrant orange-pink color. Avoid fillets that are too thin or have a dull color, as these may be less flavorful and more prone to overcooking.
- Season the salmon generously: Don't be afraid to season the salmon with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, thyme, or paprika, to taste.
- Cook the salmon to medium-rare: The best way to cook salmon is to cook it to medium-rare, or an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. This will keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
- Make sure the lemon sauce is hot: The lemon sauce should be hot when you pour it over the salmon. This will help to melt the butter and create a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out.
Conclusion:
Baked salmon with lemon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the lemon sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
