Best Salmon Bake

Background and History:

Salmon has been a staple in the diets of people living near rivers and oceans for centuries. Baking salmon with a flavorful topping is a classic way to prepare this nutritious fish. The Best Salmon Bake recipe combines the richness of salmon with a savory topping, making it a delectable and healthy dish.

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. The mixture should form a loose paste.
  • Spread the paste evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • If desired, broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes to give the topping a golden finish.
