Fantastic Baked Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the lemon juice, cilantro paste, garlic, salt and pepper once the butter is melted.
• Rinse the salmon filet and pat dry.
• Place salmon uncovered in aluminum foil and place inside a glass or metal baking pan. Cover the top of the salmon with butter mixture. Sprinkle panko bread crumbs lightly over the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. After baking, place the salmon under the broiler on low setting for 3-4 minutes or until panko crumbs are crispy and brown.
• ** If they don't carry cilantro paste where you shop, you can make your own with a bunch of cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil in a food processor.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Brush each salmon fillet with the oil or butter and season well.
• Put the salmon fillets in an ovenproof dish. Cover if you prefer your salmon to be tender, or leave uncovered if you want the flesh to roast slightly.
• Roast for 10-15 mins (or about 4 mins per 1cm thickness) until just opaque and easily flaked with a fork. Serve with a sprinkling of chopped herbs, lemon slices and steamed long-stem broccoli, if you like.

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients in a shallow bowl.
• Add in the salmon steaks (do not remove the skin!) turn to coat in the marinade.
• Cover and refrigerate for about 35 minutes.
• Discard the marinade.
• *NOTE* to bake the salmon steaks; season the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet with skin side down.
• Bake for about 20-22 minutes at 375 degrees.
• Remove the skin before serving.
• Delicious!
