Description

This is the BEST roasted salmon. The 6 ingredient recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes too. Fresh salmon is topped with a creamy Caesar sauce and roasted to perfection. You'll make this easy salmon recipe over and over again.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon filets (6 ounces each)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Place the salmon in the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  4. Spread the sauce evenly on top of each piece of salmon. Sprinkle the salmon with a little bit more Parmesan cheese.
  5. For medium rare to medium salmon roast for 10 to 12 minutes or until it has an internal temperature of 125 to 135 degrees F on a digital thermometer. For well done salmon, roast for 14 to 16 minutes or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  6. For a lightly browned crust, place the fish under the broiler for the last minute of roasting time.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven and serve.

Notes

  • Buy the freshest salmon available. Get to know the fish monger and they can pick the best fish for you. Firm, vibrant, and and a neutral smell are keys to fresh salmon.
  • For easy clean up, line the baking sheet with foil.
  • Use a digital thermometer to cook the salmon to perfection. For medium rare to medium, cook to 125 to 135 degrees F. For more well done salmon, cook to 145 degrees F.
