Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C), allowing it to reach the ideal temperature for a perfectly baked salmon.

  2. Prepare the Fish: Rinse the salmon fillets gently under cold water, then pat them dry using paper towels to ensure a nice sear and prevent steaming during baking.

  3. Season the Fillets: Generously sprinkle both sides of each fillet with salt and black pepper, allowing the seasoning to enhance the natural flavors of the fish.

  4. Make the Garlic Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, low sodium chicken broth, dry white wine, olive oil, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. This aromatic mixture will serve as a delightful bath for the salmon.

  5. Arrange the Salmon: Place the seasoned fillets flat side down in a single layer within a 2-quart rectangular baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly but not overcrowded.

  6. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared garlic and parsley mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure each piece is well-coated in this flavorful bath.

  7. Bake the Salmon: Transfer the baking dish to your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Keep an eye on the salmon to avoid overcooking, as it can become dry.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the dish from the oven and serve the salmon immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside your favorite side dishes.

This delightful salmon dish, filled with robust flavors and healthy ingredients, is sure to impress both family and friends alike, making it a go-to recipe in your culinary repertoire. Enjoy!
