Oven Baked Salmon 🍋
This recipe is so easy it has no business being this good! I have been making this Oven Baked Salmon recipe for many many years, however the first time I posted it was in 2020 when I first started making recipes on social media, Tik Tok to be exact. This recipe went mega viral in 2020 so I decided that this little masterpiece needed to be resurrected, re-made, and re-posted as a reminder of how simple and delicious a recipe can be!
Once you make this Oven baked Salmon I am certain it will stay in your rotation whenever you make salmon or any fish for that matter. I used salmon for this recipe, however you can use any fish that you’d like because the flavor profile fits for most. Let’s make it!
I absolutely love using this Lodge Cast Iron Deep Skillet because it evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls and it retains heat for a longer time.
This Oven Baked Salmon paired perfectly with this delicious Smashed Broccoli!

Oven Baked Salmon
Ingredients
- 2 lemons divided
- 2 – 4 pieces of salmon skin removed (patted dry, room temperature)
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper divided
- ½ stick salted butter melted
- 1 tbsp Tony’s creole seasoning
- 1 tbsp italian seasoning make sure your italian seasoning has no salt added
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Slice 1 & ½ lemons into rounds and save the other half of the lemon whole for later. In a cast iron or baking dish scatter those lemon rounds around the bottom. Then add in the pieces of salmon over the lemon rounds and season them with a ¼ tsp of cracked black pepper.
- In a measuring cup, add the butter and melt it in the microwave. Once the butter is melted, add in the juice of half a lemon, Tony’s creole seasoning, italian seasoning, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, and a ¼ tsp of cracked black pepper. Whisk that together until combined.
- Pour that butter mixture over top of the pieces of salmon in the baking dish. Bake in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes (depending on how you like your salmon cooked).

Notes
- When you are using Tony’s Creole seasoning you don’t need to use salt because it already has salt in it.
