Sumptuous Easy Baked Salmon Recipes

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:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange 1/2 of the dill in a single layer in the center of a heavy baking sheet. Arrange the sliced red onion on top of the dill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on top of the red onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the salmon with the remaining dill. Arrange the lemon slices over the dill. Drizzle on the olive oil. Sprinkle the lemon slices with salt. (The above can be prepared up to 8 hours ahead, if that timing is more convenient. If you have prepared the above ahead and refrigerated it, then let the salmon cook just a little longer.) To cook: Roast 20 to 25 minutes, until just cooked through. Let the salmon sit 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving (it cooks a little more, from the residual heat, while out of the oven). Remove the dill that's on top of the salmon, as it's probably been burned. The dill underneath will still be edible, though. Serve the salmon along with the roasted onion and the lemon slices that it was baked with.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Evenly season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and dill. Drizzle lemon juice evenly over fillets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut each fillet into 2 pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. Mix remaining oil, thyme, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Spread thyme mixture over salmon fillets, dividing equally. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Bake salmon until just opaque in center, 15-18 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lay salmon fillet skin-side down on a wide piece of aluminum foil.
• Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over salmon. Sprinkle lemon pepper, lemon juice, and salt on top. Fold foil up and over the fillet, tenting it at the top. Roll top down to seal salmon in foil. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
