Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is thick and firm, with no visible bones.
  • Season the salmon well: A simple combination of salt, pepper, and lemon zest is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. This will prevent it from becoming dry and tough.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or dill, will add a bright, flavorful touch to the salmon.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Lemon cilantro baked salmon is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright, citrusy flavor and flaky texture, this salmon is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
