Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon fillet, preferably center-cut
1 tablespoon Dijon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

THE ULTIMATE SALMON FILLETS



The Ultimate Salmon Fillets image

Living on the west coast, we have eaten a great deal of salmon. This is ABSOLUTELY the best way we have found to cook it. It is so moist and the flavor is fantastic! Many reviewers have said that they think the cheese, especially the cheddar is unnecessary, and I have to admit that I omit the cheddar cheese myself. The flavour is a little too strong and it is extra fat that is not needed. I do like the sprinkling of parmesan with the paprika because it looks so nice when it is broiled. Using light mayonnaise and light sour cream or yogurt tastes just as good as the full fat versions and cuts down fat and calories even more. Thanks for all the great reviews!

SALMON FILLETS

You just can't imagine how good this is, and how easy it is to make. Sure to be one of your favorites!

Provided by Jimijoe 43

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 lb salmon fillet, cut in half
lemon
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt
white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place the filets skin-side down in a baking dish.
  • Squeeze the lemon over and lightly sprinkle with salt and white pepper, then sprinkle the dill over the filets and let set for fifteen minutes.
  • Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the entire surface.
  • Place on a high shelf in the oven, just under the broiler element, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes for each inch of thickness.
  • Turn on the broiler for a few minutes, just until the mayonnaise starts to brown.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality salmon fillets: Opt for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the salmon fillets evenly: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to enhance the salmon's natural flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When pan-frying or searing the salmon fillets, make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the salmon fillets to your desired doneness: The ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon is 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • Let the salmon fillets rest before serving: After cooking, let the salmon fillets rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fillets, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

With its rich flavor, versatility, and health benefits, salmon is a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. By following the tips and tricks outlined in this article, you can elevate your salmon-cooking skills and prepare mouthwatering salmon fillets that will impress your family and friends.
