The Best Salmon and Wine Pairings
Fast, easy, and most importantly healthiest, the BEST Baked Salmon recipe has only two ingredients and almost no cleanup!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces salmon your favorite variety, mine is wild King salmon
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- black pepper, optional
- chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F and make sure there is a rack just below middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and make sure the foil reaches up and over the edges.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salmon pieces on top and bottom with salt and pepper if using. Place salmon on foil-lined baking sheet, skin side down.
- Bake in oven for about 10 minutes. Then check with a fork for flakiness, or with a thermometer to reach internal temperature of 145°. The baking time depends on how thick the salmon pieces are.
- Using a very thin spatula carefully remove salmon from baking sheet to plates. Garnish with shopped fresh parsley if using. If you did it right, you can just lift the foil off the baking sheet and throw it away.
