My favorite salmon...easy!

[bumpergirl]

This is my all time favorite recipe for dinner. It's really easy, and impresses company. This recipe serves two, but you can multiply it as many times as needed:

2 salmon fillets, with or without skin
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dill weed

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, and dill weed into a well-blended sauce. Set aside.

Wash and pat dry the salmon fillets. Place them in a glass baking dish (for two I use a glass pie pan) sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray (the olive oil Pam is what I use). Place the fillets in the dish skin side down if they have skin.

Pour the sauce over the salmon, covering as much of the top of it as possible. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Don't marinate longer than 30 minutes, as the lemon juice will scald the fish!

Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the fish can be flaked with a fork. I usually serve it with steamed broccoli or asparagus and couscous. DELICIOUS!

Yum! I will try this one!

I do a salmon marinade with equal parts soy, brown sugar and white wine. Some times I add a tad of orange juice as well. I grill it in a tin foil wrap so that the brown sugar doesn't cause burning on the grill. Soy works very well with salmon, my kids love it. We eat fish at least once a week so I am always looking for new ways to try it.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

We marinate ours in a Japanese Ginger sauce before grilling. It is wonderful too.

I'm going to try this! And that's saying a lot, because I've never cooked salmon at all and I'm a little scared of messing it up.

This sounds delicious! I am lucky enough to get fresh filets once in awhile (not as often as he'd like!) from my fisherman husband. I wonder would it be good on walleye too?

That sounds good--I love salmon. I make mine--I brush lemon juice on mine, then I cover it with olive oil, salt/ pepper/garlic salt and then I use fresh rosmary and but it all over the salmon. I then cover it for a few hrs. and then put it on my Foreman grill or if the weather is nice my out door grill.
