Baked Salmon Recipe

This baked salmon recipe is perfect for those just starting out in the kitchen.
It was my inaugural attempt at cooking fish, and it turned out to be a smashing
success. Impressively, even my 9-year-old daughter, who typically steers clear
of fish, ended up enjoying half of my serving!

Baked Salmon Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic

minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons light olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley

chopped
2 6 ounce fillets salmon
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1 Begin by creating the marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the light olive
oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dried basil, salt, and black
pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended.
2 Next, place the salmon fillets in a small baking dish made of glass or ceramic.
Gently pour the prepared marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is
evenly coated. Cover the dish and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator.
During this marinating period, which should last about an hour, turn the fillets
occasionally to ensure they are thoroughly coated in the marinade.
3 While the salmon marinates, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4 Prepare the salmon for baking by placing each marinated fillet onto a large
piece of aluminum foil. Spoon any remaining marinade over the fillets. Carefully
seal the foil around the salmon, ensuring it is completely enclosed. This will
help lock in moisture and flavor during the baking process.
5 Place the foil-wrapped salmon on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated
oven. Bake the salmon for approximately 35 to 45 minutes, or until the fish is
tender and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
6 Once cooked, carefully open the foil packets to reveal the beautifully baked
salmon. Serve the fillets hot, garnished with a slice of lemon for an added
touch of freshness. Enjoy your delicious, herb-infused salmon meal!
