Recipe Tips

For a more flavorful marinade, let the salmon fillets marinate in the mustard, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish better.
To avoid overcooking the salmon, use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Remove the salmon from the oven as soon as it reaches this temperature to ensure it remains moist and tender.
When baking, arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking dish, and brush a little olive oil on top to promote even cooking and prevent sticking. If you prefer a crispy skin, bake the salmon skin-side up for the last few minutes of cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute fresh rosemary with dried herbs?

Yes, you can substitute fresh rosemary with dried herbs. Use about one-third of the amount; for example, if the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead.

How should I store leftover baked salmon?

Store leftover baked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and placing it in a freezer-safe bag.

What can I do if my salmon is overcooked?

If your salmon is overcooked and dry, try serving it with a sauce or dressing to add moisture back. A simple lemon butter sauce or a yogurt dill sauce can help enhance the flavor and texture.
