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!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x?

• 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

Method

 

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
