This Oven Baked Salmon pairs garlic and herbs with a touch of sweetness for an easy family dinner. Serve it with rice and vegetables, then use leftovers with chickpea pasta or mac and cheese.
A QUICK NOTE
Fold the foil edges up around the salmon to catch the butter mixture as it bakes. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish, so check the thickest part and let it rest before serving.
COOK TIME
About 15–22 minutes, plus 5 minutes to rest
INGREDIENTS
1 whole salmon fillet (2–2½ pounds), skin on preferred
3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Swerve brown sugar replacement
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon skin side down and fold the foil edges up around it to catch the juices.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter or olive oil, garlic, brown sugar replacement, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Brush evenly over the salmon.
4. Bake for 15–22 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon reaches 145°F at the thickest point and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Rest for 5 minutes. Serve with rice and vegetables. Try leftovers with chickpea pasta or mac and cheese.
