Prepare the Salmon Fillet
Start by cleaning the salmon fillet under cold water. Pat it dry gently using a kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture. -
-
Grease the Baking Pan
Lightly grease a baking pan with either butter or olive oil. For easy cleanup, you can also line the pan with aluminum foil. -
Season the Salmon
Place the salmon fillet on the greased pan. Season it with salt and black pepper. Use your hands to rub the seasoning evenly over both sides of the fillet. -
Spread the Tartare Dip
Using a spoon, generously spread Del Monte Tartare Dip over the surface of the salmon, ensuring that it’s coated evenly on both sides. -
Add Fresh Herbs
Chop the fresh herbs (dill is a great choice) and sprinkle them generously on top of the salmon. The herbs will infuse the fish with a fresh, aromatic flavor as it bakes. -
Bake the Salmon
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Place the pan in the oven and bake the salmon for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet. -
Rest and Serve
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures the fish remains tender and moist. -
Plate and Enjoy
After resting, carefully remove the salmon from the pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Serve it hot with some roasted baby potatoes or your favorite side dish.
This Baked Salmon Flavored With Herbs and Tartare Dip makes a perfect side dish for a dinner party or as an appetizer to start off your meal. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like Tofu Parmigiana with Spaghetti and Tomato Basil Sauce, and for dessert, you can serve a delicious Tiramisu.
Tips for the Perfect Baked Salmon:
- Choosing the Salmon: While Norwegian salmon is a great option, you can also use wild-caught or farm-raised salmon depending on availability.
- Herbs Variations: If you’re not a fan of dill, you can experiment with fresh thyme, parsley, or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the salmon alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables to create a well-rounded meal.
With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, this Baked Salmon Recipe will elevate any occasion, from casual dinners to special celebrations.
