BAKED LEMON GARLIC SALMON RECIPE



Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon Recipe image

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 lemon, sliced into rounds
Parsley for garnish
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika and black pepper. Give the sauce a good whisk.
  • Prepare a sheet pan lined with a large piece of foil (should be large enough to fold over salmon). Brush top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Now, pat salmon dry and season well on both sides with kosher salt. Place it on the foiled sheetpan. Top with lemon garlic sauce (make sure to spread the sauce evenly.)
  • Fold foil over the salmon (seam-side up). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part (cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish. If your salmon is thinner, check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick, 1 1/2 or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)
  • Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon. Place under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't overcook and the garlic does not burn.)

Lemon-Lime Salmon with Veggie Saute image

Categories     #cook90     Dinner     Lunch     Fish     Seafood     Salmon     Chickpea     Arugula     Radish     Lemon     Small Plates     Kid-Friendly     Healthy     Quick and Healthy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 (1 1/2-lb.) salmon fillet, preferably skin-on
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed, patted dry
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tsp. za'atar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
4 cups baby arugula or baby spinach
4 radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 300°F. Toss lemon slices in a large bowl with a drizzle of oil. Arrange slices in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Set salmon on lemons. Season salmon all over with kosher salt and pepper, then drizzle and rub with some oil. Roast until salmon is just barely opaque in the middle, 12-17 minutes, depending on thickness. If you like your salmon well-done, cook it a few minutes longer, but keep in mind that you risk the chance it will dry out. Let salmon cool, then flake into medium-size pieces with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, bring chickpeas, garlic, za'atar, and remaining 1/2 cup oil to a bare simmer in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat if needed, 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tsp. kosher salt (less if your za'atar is salty) and remove skillet from heat.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer chickpeas to a medium bowl, leaving oil behind. Whisk lemon juice into oil; taste dressing and season with more kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper if needed.
  • Toss arugula in a large bowl with 1 tsp. dressing. Divide among bowls along with radishes, chickpeas, and salmon (and lemons if desired); drizzle with more dressing. Sprinkle with sea salt and more pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice and zest. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to add a little bit of extra zest to brighten up the flavor.
  • If you don't have lima beans, you can substitute another type of bean, such as green beans or black beans.
  • To make the salmon more flavorful, marinate it in the lemon-herb mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to grease the pan well so that the salmon doesn't stick.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This lemon salmon with lima beans is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is flaky and flavorful, and the lima beans add a pop of color and nutrition. This dish is also easy to make, so it's perfect for busy families.
