Quick And Easy Four Ingredient Oven Baked Salmon Recipes

THE BEST BAKED SALMON

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.

QUICK AND EASY, FOUR INGREDIENT, OVEN-BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Once it reaches this temperature, place a small pan with water on the lower shelf (this will create a moist environment while roasting).
• Brush the salmon generously with two tablespoons of olive oil on both sides, season with sea salt and pepper and place skin-side-down in a small pan, or, in an oven-proof skillet. Tuck some lemon slices and a few thyme sprigs under the salmon and place a couple of thyme sprigs on top of the salmon.
• Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or, until the color of the salmon turns opaque and begins to flake easily (the baking time will depend on the thickness of the fillet, so check it to make sure). The internal temperature of the salmon should register between 125°F to 130°F when it is ready. Remember that the salmon will continue to cook even after it comes out of the oven.
• Remove the salmon from the oven. Drizzle the fillets with the remaining olive oil, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top, and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
• Using a flexible spatula, remove the salmon from the pan, place it on individual plates, and discard the thyme--the skin should come off easily. Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green vegetable on the side.

EASY, NO-MESS BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• 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.
