This easy baked salmon recipe is perfect for a weekday, but could also fill in for a special occasion. The fish is smothered with a mixture of sour cream, mustard, and parmesan cheese. When baking the fish, be careful not to overcook. (There are lots of tricks above in the article for how not to overcook salmon).

Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (6-ounce) salmon filets
1/2 cup whole fat sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. (Instead of oiling the pan, you could also line with parchment paper).
  • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mustard, and the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place salmon onto a baking sheet then spread two tablespoons of sour cream mixture on top of each salmon filet.
  • Bake 10 to 15 minutes until barely done in the center at the thickest part of the salmon. The center should be firm, but with a small amount of uncooked salmon in the very center. Depending on how thick the salmon is, it may need a few minutes longer. (The internal temperature should be around 125 degrees F).
  • Remove from oven then cover lightly with aluminum foil and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. During this time, the salmon will continue to cook.

FISH AND SOUR CREAM BAKE



Fish and Sour Cream Bake image

Although the original recipe calls for Halibut, I've found that any firm, white fish will work. If your fish is frozen, soak it in milk to help remove the frozen "fishy" taste. This is an easy recipe that comes together fast. Except for the fish, most people will have all the other ingredients on hand. I love this after a hard work day....quick, easy, and delicious! Original recipe is from the "Reflections of the West" cookbook, but I've made a few changes.

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives add a vibrant flavor to the dish. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the fish fillets before baking.
  • Make a flavorful sour cream sauce: The sour cream sauce is the key to this dish's success. Use high-quality sour cream and season it with spices like paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You can also add a touch of Dijon mustard for a tangy kick.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish fillets cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Bake them for just 10-12 minutes, or until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve immediately: Baked fish fillets in sour cream sauce are best served hot. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges for an extra touch of flavor.
