If you've looked at the price for a nice salmon meal at a restaurant lately, you'll be amazed that you can prepare this meal for less than half of the cost. Clean-up is made easy when you line your baking pan with aluminum foil and bake this delicious salmon in your own oven.
Here's how to do it:
- Select fresh salmon from your favorite grocery store. I always find good choices at Aldi where they have ocean raised (not farm raised) filets.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Use kitchen shears to cut the fish into 4 ounce portions.
- Place on a foil-lined cookie sheet skin side down.
- Season with onion salt, pepper, powdered garlic and a tablespoon of butter.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork
- Separate the skin from the filet using a flat spatula and a fork.
- Leaving the skin on the foil, transfer the filet to a plate or the top of a salad.
Served hot or cold, this economical meal is easy and delicious.
- Add a tablespoon of mayonnaise
- Add a teaspoon of pickle relish
- Add a chopped boiled egg (optional)
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
