Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh salmon fillets. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
- To ensure that the salmon is cooked evenly, use a baking dish that is just large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer.
- The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. For fillets that are 1 inch thick, cook for 15-20 minutes. For fillets that are 2 inches thick, cook for 25-30 minutes.
- To check if the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- The lemon sauce is a great way to add flavor to the salmon. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best results.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
This baked salmon with lemon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the lemon sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
