BAKED LEMON GARLIC SALMON RECIPE



Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon Recipe image

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 lemon, sliced into rounds
Parsley for garnish
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika and black pepper. Give the sauce a good whisk.
  • Prepare a sheet pan lined with a large piece of foil (should be large enough to fold over salmon). Brush top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Now, pat salmon dry and season well on both sides with kosher salt. Place it on the foiled sheetpan. Top with lemon garlic sauce (make sure to spread the sauce evenly.)
  • Fold foil over the salmon (seam-side up). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part (cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish. If your salmon is thinner, check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick, 1 1/2 or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)
  • Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon. Place under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't overcook and the garlic does not burn.)

Fresh salmon needs very little preparation. These salmon fillets are cooked in good, sweet butter and minced garlic, and then sprinkled with a little lemon juice. If you'd like a little more kick and a fancy presentation, caramelize onions and serve them atop the cooked salmon.
