Baked Salmon
This is wonderful! I made this on 22 Nov 2016 and was an instant two thumbs up from my Thai wife. Excellent marinade as written, recipe followed as written, no changes needed, and after baking, spoon the oil on some pasta for a great meal.
Equipment
- Baking Pan
- Oven
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, (140-160 gram / 5-6 oz each)
- 3 clove garlic, minced
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the olive oil, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix to make the marinade. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow flat dish, pour marinade over the top of them and place in the fridge, turning the fillets occasionally. Marinate for 1 hour.
- Preheat your broiler, or if using a counter top oven use the top coil and heat to 230° C (450° F).
- Using a baking dish, glass would be perfect, place fillets in the dish and pour the marinade over the fish.
- Broil for 5-7 minutes then flip fillets over, when the fish flakes with a fork easily, it is done.
- Serve. A salad, pasta, or vegetables on the side would be perfect side dishes.
Notes
I bought 4 fillets, Norwegian import, 69 Baht for 140 to 160 gram fillets. I figured the servings as 1 fillet per serving. For 69 Baht per fillet, this is about $2.03 per serving. High cost but great for a once in a while meal.
