Ingredients

  • 1 3-pound salmon fillet, skin on
  • 4 garlic cloves grated
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and olive oil until you have a thick, spreadable paste.
  • Spread the mixture evenly over the surface of the salmon.
  • Roast for about 20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork but is still tender and moist in the center.
  • Serve warm, finishing with extra parsley if you like.

Notes

Notes

  • This method is very forgiving. If the salmon stays in the oven an extra few minutes, it will still be tender.
  • For smaller households, the recipe scales down easily — just keep the oven temperature the same.
  • Leftovers are excellent flaked into salads or grain bowls.
