True Lemon Baked Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place salmon fillets in the dish.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 30-second increments until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Mix lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the melted butter; pour over the salmon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and brush with oil.
• Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bake until the outside is opaque and slightly firm to the touch and the inside flakes easily (insert a small paring knife between layers to check; the color will vary from bright pink (rare) to pale pink to orange (well-done)), 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the desired doneness.
• Remove the fillets from the oven, top each with a piece of butter and let melt over the top and down the sides. Sprinkle with herbs, lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer the salmon to serving plates with a spatula. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry.
• Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
• Brush with butter.
• Combine remaining ingredients; pour over salmon.
• Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. NOTE: I'm not a fan of tarragon, so I didn't use as much as a small pinch. I would have preferred to not add it all next time, but that's simply because I don't care for the spice. I think next time I'll substitute it with basil or oregano. But that's entirely up to you. I severed this with some brown rice and mixed veggies. Yum!
