Easy Under 20 Minute Baked Salmon

Salmon is now one of my favorite fish to eat. I actually thought I didn’t like salmon, however, I just kept thinking I wanted to give it another try. I usually don’t want to give foods I don’t like another try, but with salmon, I just refused to not try to like it again. One day, I decided I would try to combine seasonings together to season the salmon, and on the very first try; this is the recipe I developed.

Many years ago when I tried salmon at a restaurant my husband, Kendrick and I dined at, I didn’t enjoy the salmon. That’s why I thought for all of these years that I didn’t like salmon. Now, I am happy to say that I not only like salmon; I love salmon. This recipe is a winner and I am excited to share it with you.

OH YEAH . . . Before I forget: Here are some notes I thought may be helpful to you. 

  1. This salmon can be baked at 400 degrees. A higher temperature will of course lower the cooking time. 
  2. When done, you can squeeze a little lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. This is completely optional. This dish is delicious even if you choose to skip this step. 
  3. This salmon is also good over a salad. Try our cajun-baked catfish over salad as well. It is so delicious.
