SUMPTUOUS, EASY BAKED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange 1/2 of the dill in a single layer in the center of a heavy baking sheet. Arrange the sliced red onion on top of the dill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on top of the red onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the salmon with the remaining dill. Arrange the lemon slices over the dill. Drizzle on the olive oil. Sprinkle the lemon slices with salt. (The above can be prepared up to 8 hours ahead, if that timing is more convenient. If you have prepared the above ahead and refrigerated it, then let the salmon cook just a little longer.) To cook: Roast 20 to 25 minutes, until just cooked through. Let the salmon sit 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving (it cooks a little more, from the residual heat, while out of the oven). Remove the dill that's on top of the salmon, as it's probably been burned. The dill underneath will still be edible, though. Serve the salmon along with the roasted onion and the lemon slices that it was baked with.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep orange color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of white streaks.
- Season the salmon well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Be sure to season both sides of the fillet.
- Cook the salmon at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior. If you are using a conventional oven, bake the salmon at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes. If you are using a convection oven, bake the salmon at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
- Check the salmon for doneness: The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. If you are not sure if the salmon is done, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fillet. The salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the salmon rest before serving: This will help the salmon to retain its juices and prevent it from becoming dry.
Conclusion:
Baked salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect salmon fillet every time. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
